   said to be a forecast of ensuing bad weather; also if the moon is surrounded by a ring it forecasts bad weather.
   When a full moon is rising with a reddish or rosy hue it is a sign of good weather to follow.
   A star or stars seen near the moon is a sign of a coming storm. Also when stars are seen sparkling and twinkling in the heavens it denotes hard frosty weather. Falling stars are another indication of broken weather.
   A dull heavy sky with dark murky clouds rising from the west is a sure sign of heavy rain to follow.
   West and south-west winds are harbingers of rain. East wind heralds hard,dry weather, while north wind brings intense cold and perhaps snow. South-west wind brings most rain to my district.
   During the east wind, the bell of Aglish Church, situated in an easterly direction from my home, can be plainly heard.
   Seagulls and curlews seen hovering about inland means that a storm is raging at sea.
   Swallows flying low forecast bad weather.
   Horses seen with their backs to the ditch denote that rain is due. Sheep, when instinct tells them that bad weather is due, flock to the highest point of the field they find.
   People believe that a cat seen washing his face denotes rain to follow.
   Winged ants seen in myriads on the road are a sign of rain, as the air being heavy, they cannot bear up.
