Jack's Story

When the dew is in the grass rain will never come to pass.

When grass is dry at morning light, look for rain before the night.

A summer fog, for fair, a winter fog for rain.

Clear night- cold days.

When ditch and pond affect the noise, look for rain and stormy blows.

A good rain in June sets all in tune.

Calm weather in June sets corn in tune.

Rain before 7, fine before 11.

Sounds travelling far and wide, a rainy day will be tide.

April shower makes May flower.

The louder the frog the more the rain.

If it thunders on All Fools day, it brings good crops of corn and hay.

No weather is ill if the wind be still.

When the Swallows nest is high summer is day, when the Swallows nest is low you can safely reap and sow.
