   The curlew brings tidings of rain and the swallows also when they fly low.
   The crane screams in dry weather for rain.
   The seagulls fly in-land in stormy weather.
   Goats or cows never like rain.
   All animals get drousy when rain is near.
   On a Summer's evening when the flies are busy rain is near.

   If the sky is red it is a sign of thunder and lightning. When we see swans flying we know rain will soon come. If the sun sets behind a cloud it is a sign of rain. A moon glittering is not a good sign of the weather. when there are many stars in the sky it is a sign of frost. The crickets sing when rain is near. When the train has a loud noise we know that fine weather is nigh.
