• If the moon and stars grow dim and a ring encircles the former rain will follow.

• If the sun's rays appear like Moses' horns, or goes down into a bank of clouds in the horizon bad weather is to be expected.

• If the moon looks pale and dim we expect rain.

• If it looks red we expect wind and if her natural colour with the clear sky, fair weather.

• When the dog eats grass we expect rain.

• When the cat scrapes the trunk of a tree a storm will follow.

• If the crows lie on the stone-walls we expect rain.
