    When you hear curlews roaring it is the sign of wet weather.
    When crows are skirmishing in the air it is the sign of fine weather.
    If the "Dublin Red" is up fine weather is prophesied.
    When your corns begin to pain you it is the sign of wet weather.
    When an ass stands with his back to the ditch you may expect wet weather.
