- (continued from previous page)If the wind blows the dust on the it is the sign of rain. If the flies are plentiful on a summers evening it is the sign of rain. IF the pismire walks on the road it is also the sign of rain. If the noise of a far off train can be heard it is the sign of bad weather. If the smoke comes downwards from the chimney it is the sign of rain and if it goes up straight it is the sign of good weather. If there is blue light in the fire it is the sign of wet weather.
