Comets bring cold weather.
After an unusual fall of meteors, dry weather is expected. All comets evidence the approach of some calamity, such as drought, famine, war, floods, &c. (Apache Indians.)
Comets are said to improve the grape crop, and wine produced in years when comets appear is called comet wine. (French.)
Falling Stars.
If there be many falling stars during a clear evening in summer, expect thunder.
If there are no falling stars on a bright summer night, expect fine weather.
Fair Weather.
When the stars set still the times are to be pleasant. (Zuñi Indians.)
Flickering.
When the stars flicker in a dark background, rain or snow follows soon.
