   When the hens are to be seen pecking themselves it denotes rain

   When cats begin scraping trees or some kind of timber we can look out for rain

   If the Spideóg is low in the bush we can be prepared for a storm

   If Ciarogs cross the floor it denotes rain

   
   A dog eating grass is a sure sign of rain
   Ducks quack loudly before rain

   It is a bad sign too if a flock of geese rises suddenly and flies a certain distance (without provocation)

   The crowing of the cock on a wet day is a sign that the day is about to clear

   In fine weather i.e. the weather is settled the wells are always overflowing. The springs are low before a break in the weather.

   When two rainbows appear in the sky together in the early morning the weather is about to clear up. This happened on July 17th 1938 when two rainbows appeared in the sky at 4 o'clock A.M. The observation was made by Patrick Farrell, Gortfree, Kilmanagh who is a local weather expert. He says he never knew this but to herald fine weather. Up to the time of writing this note the weather has been beautifully fine. (21adh lá d'Iúl.) Another local weather expert is Mr. Michael Kelly, Ballingarry, Thurles.
