  1. (continued from previous page)
    Fog in the hollows is the surest sign of fine weather. When the rivers, brooks, waterfalls are moving northwards it is the sign of good weather.
    Ants on a dusty road after heat is a sign of rain.
    When the smoke is raising straight from a chimney it is the sign of good weather and when it is turning towards the ground it is the sign of bad weather. Weather signs are seen in the fire, as blue, or red is for bad weather.
