   there is going to be rain. When there is white frost is a sign of rain. When the asses have their backs to the weather it denotes rain, and when the cattle are running about it is also a sign of rain. When the sun goes down red in the evening it is sure to be wet.

   A pale yellow sun is the sign of wind.
   A wide circle round the moon is the sign of wind.
   When the wind whistles it is the sign of rain.
   To see a black frog is the sign of rain and to see a yellow one is the sign of good weather.

   Evening red and morning grey.
   Sets the traveller on his way.
   Evening grey and morning red,
   Brings the rain upon his head.

   It is the sign of good weather to see sheep lying down in the day time.
