Weather Lore
Whether it's cold or whether it's hot . . .
We shall have weather, whether or not!
Evening red and morning grey
speed the traveler on his way.
Evening grey and morning red
bring down rain upon his head.


It rains as long as it takes rain to come.

Rain, rain go away . . .
Come again another day.


When the dew is one the grass,
rain will  never come to pass.

When sea birds fly to land
there truly is a storm at hand.


Year of snow . . . fruit will grow.

The chill is on, near and far,
in all the months that have an "R".


Ice in November to walk a duck,
the winter will be all rain and muck.

From twelve 'till two tells what the day will do.

Rain before seven, quit by eleven
Rainbow in morning, shepherds take warning;
rainbow at night, shepherds' delight.

Rainbow at noon, more rain soon.

Rainbow in the east, sailors at peace.
Rainbow in the west, sailors in distress.


When a cow tries to scratch her ear it means a shower is very near.

No weather is ill, if the wind is still.

When the stars begin to huddle
the earth will soon begin to puddle.

Pale moon doth rain,
Red moon doth blow,

White moon doth neither rain nor snow.

The moon and the weather may change together, but change of the moon does not change the weather.

Clear moon, frost soon.

Onion skin is very thin
mild winter is coming in.
Onion skin is thick and tough
Winter will be could and rough.


When the morning sun is red . . .
Ewe and lamb go wet to bed.

The South wind brings wet weather;
the North wind, wet and cold together;
the West wind always brings us rain
the East wind blows it back again.


Yellow streaks in sunset sky,
wind and day-long rain is nigh.

If dew is on the grass,
Rain will not come to pass.

To talk of the weather is nothing but folly;
when it rains on the hill, it suns in the valley.

The more rain, the more rest . . .
fair weather's not always best.


A sunshiny shower won't last half an hour.

The sharper the blast, the sooner it's past.

News and weather. . . they travel together.

An ill wind bodes no good.

Red skys in the morn, sailors take warn.
Red skys at night, sailor's delight.
