    mountains means rain.
    An old Proverb the people have about here is
    "A Rainbow in the morning is the sailors warning, a rainbow at night is the sailors delight."
    Also when the people see a dog eating grass, they say it is a sure sign of rain.
    They have many signs like those, and they always know when the rain will come, and when we will have good weather. These signs are very useful and everyone should know them.
