- There are many ways in which we judge the weather. In the evenings we watch to see the sun set. If the sun sets down in a bank of clouds we are sure of a wet day the following day. If the sun sets nice and bright we are sure of a good day. When we see the cat sitting with her back to the fire we know that we will have storm.
When the soot on the crook sticks to our fingers or when it falls down the chimney we may be sure of a wet day.
In the Summer time we like to see the swallows fly high for it is a sign of good weather, but if they fly low we may be sure of bad weather.
When there is a mist out if it goes up into the clouds in the morning it will come in rain, but if the mist falls we will have a good day.
We do not like to see a rainbow as it is a sign of showery weather.(continues on next page)- Collector
