Weather easy level
People are always talking about the weather. It is something you can talk about in a group of strangers. We often turn on the television or radio to watch and find out the weather forecast.
And someone always finds something wrong with the weather - it's too hot, too cold, too rainy or too sunny.
Below you will find examples of different 'weather wisdom' from around the world.
A Storm is Coming when...
■ Flowers close up before a storm.
■ When the leaves of trees turn over
■ Before a storm, cows lie down or will not go out. But, when cows are lying down in a field it'll be fine weather, once they stand up rain is on its way.
■ Flowers smell best just before a rain.
■ Killing a spider will make it rain the next day.
■ Swallows fly high when winds are light. So when they start flying low, the storm is coming!
■ When you see that the ants come out at unusual hours to do their work, it means that it is going to rain.
■ Rain before seven, fine for eleven.
■ Snow is coming when the cat washes behind both ears.
It Will Be a Bad Winter:
■ If there are lots of berries on trees.
■ If squirrels collect big stores of nuts and have thick bushy tails.
■ If ant hills are high in July, winter will be snowy.
■ If the first week in August is unusually warm, the coming winter will be snowy and long.
■ For every fog in August, there will be a snowfall in winter.
■ If the first snow falls on unfrozen ground, it will be a mild winter.
■ The first frost in autumn will be exactly six months after the first thunderstorm of the spring.
■ Worms plug the entrances to their holes when it gets cold.
Here are a few things people say around the world:
■ April showers (rain) bring May flowers.
■ Red sky at night is a sailor's delight.(makes them happy) Red sky in morning - sailor take warning.
Weather 'Wisdom'
