- To see a circle around the moon is supposed to be the sign of bad weather. We also expect bad weather when the south wind blows. To see the swallows fly low or a mist on the bogs is a sign of coming rain.To see the smoke from the chimney going up straight is the sign of good weather.
- To see the cat sit close to the fire and to see a black ring round the moon are signs of bad weather.To see blue flames in the fire and to see a ring round the moon are signs of storm.To see the sea-birds fly high is a sign of good weather.
