  1. (continued from previous page)
    Pigs are restless.
    The curlews whistle.
    The wind whirls the dust off the road when rain is coming.
    A blue light in the fire brings rain.
    In hot weather the flies disturb the cattle and make them run about the fields.

    A stroke across the centre of the moon tells us that we will have bad weather. It is the sign of bad weather when the moon has a foggy appearance.
