- If the south wind blows it is a sign of rain.
If the crows are seen walking near the hedge it is a sign of rain.
If there are black clouds in the sky from which the wind is blowing it is a sign of rain. - When corns ache it is a sign of bad weather
To see the stars tinkling at night is a sign of a frosty night.
If the sun goes down red in the evening is a sign of a good day.
