- (continued from previous page)cock crows in the evening while the rain is falling we say it will clear up soon.
The South-west wind always brings us rain which lasts for a day and a night without ceasing.
If the cat sits with her back to the fire we say it is a sign of rain.
When the sea gulls whistle it is the sign of rain.
If the sun goes down read the next day will be fine but if it goes down pale we may expect a wet day to follow.
If the winter win blows very cold and bitter and then turns mild there will be snow.
A cloudy morning in Summer brings forth a sunny day.
"No morning sun lasts a whole day."
