  1. Signs of Rain;
    When there is a circle round the moon; the nearer the circle to the moon the sooner the rain will come.
    When a cat scrapes at the door.
    When a dog eats grass
    When the sun is red at rising.
    When the curlews come to the upland.
    When a rat comes in on the ceiling
    Signs of Good Weather;
    When the sky is red after the sun going down.
    When dew falls in the evening.
