- If the beginning of a Friday or the end of a Saturday is wet, never trust the following week.
If the curlew screeches it is the sign of bad weather.
If you kill a spider you are sure to get bad weather.
If the swallows fly low it is a sign of rain.
If you see a ring around the moon it is a sign of rain.
If a dog eats grass it is the sign of thunder.
If geese fly against the wind it is a sign of rain.
If there are a lot of haws in the bushes it is the sign of a bad winter.
When there is blue light in the fire it is a sign of bad weather.- Collector
