- Weather LoreWhen a flock of crows begin to go in and out up high in the air it is the sign of rain.If swallows are fling high it is a sign that it will be fine. Insects stay up high for they delight in warm air and swallows stay up there because they fee on insects.The swallows descend because it is too cold for them up high and they come down lower to the hot air and the rain descends because the cold air up high turns the clouds into water and then rain falls and so the Kinnitty people will know by the swallows whether rain is approaching or whether fine weather will continue.Writer's name:- Betty Fegan, Kinnitty Parish, Kyle Townland, Offaly County.
