    The soot to fall on them.
    The cricket chirps lustily at the hearth when rain is coming.In harvest time the flying ants or Siongáns come for a change in the weather.The wind is another weather guide .If it blows from the south west it brings rain,the eastern wind brings snow and cold weather ,while the southern wind is mild.If the wind changes against the sun it is a sign of rain ,but if it blows from east to west all the day ,it is a sign of fine weather.
