When the crickets squeal it's a sign of rain.
When the crows swarm in flocks it is a sign of rain.
When the dog drinks water it is a sign of rain.
The walls of houses sweat when there is rain coming.
When there is a ring around the moon it's a sign of rain also when stars fall. Other Signs
When the cat sits with her tail to the fire it's a sign of storm. When the cat crawls up a tree it is a sign of wind. When the sky is red in the evening it is a sign of frost. A rainbow at night is the shepherds delight. When there is a rainbow at night the next day will be good.
A rainbow in the morning is the shepherds warning. When there is a rainbow in the morning that day will be wet.
