When grass is dry at morning light
Look for rain before the night
When ropes are tight it's going to rain;
When weather's fair, they're slack again.
If wooly fleeces spread the heavenly way, be sure no rain distrubs the summer day.
A round-topped cloud and flattened base, carries rainfall in its face.
Sea gull, sea gull, sit on the sand,
It's never good weather while you're on the land.
When sea-gulls fly to land, a storm is at hand.
Mackerel skies and mares' tails
Make tall ships carry low sails.
Sound travelling far and wide
A stormy day will betide.
Cold is the night when the moon shines bright.
Clear moon, frost soon.
Ring around the moon,
Bad weather coming soon.
Pale Moon doth rain,
Red Moon doth blow,
White Moon doth neither
Rain nor snow.
Clear Moon, frost soon.
Dark veil on the Moon's face
Means that rain will take its place.
A New Moon and a windy night. Sweep the cobwebs out of sight.
Many rings around the Moon up high
Foretell several windy spells come nigh.
When the Old Moon lies in the New Moon's arms,
Sailors on the sea court harm.
When the stars begin to huddle, the earth will soon become a puddle.
When the swallow's nest is high, summer is dry
When the swallow's nest is low, you can safely reap and sow.
