- When a cat is scraping a tree; when the curlews are calling; when the tongs is very cold; when the seaweed gets moist; when people's corns are pinching them; when the midges are biting hard; when there is a rainbow in the morning it is the sign of bad weather but if there is a rainbow in the sky in the evening it is the sign of good weather; when the seagulls fly inland and if there is a circle around the moon.
