Over the centures there have been many phrases, tales, rhymes, poems etc written about the weather and for some people, they still hold a real element of truth.

Feel free to post any that you may have!

Here is a sample…

When windows won’t open,
And the salt clogs the shaker,
The weather will favour
The umbrella maker!

*****************************************

If the moon shows a silver shield,
Be not afraid to reap the field,
But if she rises haloed round,
Soon we’ll tread on deluged ground.

*****************************************

Evening red and morning gray
Two sure signs of one fine day,
Evening red and weather fine
Morning red, of rain’s a sign,
An evening gray and a morning red
Will send the shepherd wet to bed

*****************************************

I know ladies by the score
Whose hair foretells the storm..
Long before it begins to pour
Their curls take a drooping form!

*****************************************

When the glass falls low,
Prepare for a blow;
When it rises high,
Let all your kites fly.

*****************************************

Finally here is one for weather forecasters!

And in the dying embers
These are my main regrets,
When I’m right no one remembers
When I’m wrong no one forgets.
