If it be very windy on Saint Stephen’s day, there will be a poor wine crop next year. (German.)
Saint Swithin.
A rainy Saint Swithin is well described by Gay:
Now on Saint Swithin’s feast the welkin lours,
And every pent house streams with hasty showers;
But when the swinging signs your ears offend
With creaking noise, then rainy floods impend;
Soon shall the kennels swell with rapid streams,
And rush in muddy torrents to the Thames.
All Saints’ Day.
