If rocks shines it is a sign of rain. If far away mountains look near it forecasts rain.If high hilltops are enveloped in fog it foretells rain.If the dust rises in clouds off the roads with the wind it is a bad sign of the weather.If Malbay rumbles it is a sign of rain.
The noise of a cascade or river can be heard very far away before rain.When the rain is coming flies and bees become very tormenting and irritating .if crickets sing sharply, it is a sign of rain .
If the smoke goes up straight it is a sign of fine weather .If there are blue little lights seen in the fire when stirred up, it is a sign of broken weather.The soot in the chimney becomes soft and drops down when we are near rain.
