If there be northeast or east winds in the spring, after a strong increase of heat, and small clouds appear in the different parts of the sky, or if the wind changes from east to south at the appearance of clouds preceded by heat, expect heavy rains.

Northwest and East Winds.

When the wind is in the northwest

The weather is at its best;

But if the rain comes out of the east

’Twill rain twenty-four hours at least.

Northwest and Northeast Winds.

Northwest wind brings a short storm;

A northeast wind brings a long storm.
