And farmers praise Saint Swithin come again
To wet the crops with forty days of rain.
Air Currents.
Currents of air change their course frequently, in the higher regions of the air first, and are afterwards continued to the earth’s surface; whence we can often foresee a change of wind by observing the clouds. Both the strength of a coming gale and the point from which it will blow may usually be determined by noticing the velocity and direction of the clouds floating along in the upper currents.
Appetite.
When everything is eaten at the table, it indicates continued clear weather.
Aurora.
The aurora when very bright indicates approaching storm.
Barometer.
If it freezes and the barometer falls two or three tenths of an inch, expect a thaw.
