Trees, flowers, animals and insects can "tell" about changes in the weather. They are sensitive to climate change and change their behavior. The nature of the clouds and the sunset can also predict the weather for the next day.
Instructions
Step 1
Many centuries ago, our ancestors did not have the opportunity to turn on the TV and find out the weather forecast for tomorrow. Bit by bit, they collected invaluable material, which today is called folk omens, paying attention to the behavior of animals, birds, insects, trees, the sun, etc. Nature itself told them what to expect the next day, month and year.
Step 2
There are long-term signs that predict the weather not for the coming days, but for the coming season or year. Of these, there are a lot of those based on the behavior of animals and birds. For example, if a mole digs an entrance to a hole from the north side, winter will be warm, from the south - cold, from the east - dry, from the west - wet. If swans leave for wintering late, autumn will be long and warm. Early snow - by early spring. Late spring promises good summer weather. If lightning is frequent in May, expect a good harvest. If the hares are fat, then this promises a long and cold winter.
Step 3
There are a lot of signs based on the movement and change in the state of clouds, the sun, the moon and other natural phenomena that govern the weather. If you see pillars of altocumulus clouds moving across a clear sky, there will be a thunderstorm. Strong dew and fog in the morning foreshadow a clear day. If the sunset is painted in bright yellow colors, then there will be wind, in pale yellow colors - rain. A full moon almost always foreshadows clear, dry weather. The sun is covered with clouds in the morning and soars (stuffy) - it will be raining. If raindrops form bubbles on the surface of the puddles, the bad weather will be protracted. A dull thunder foreshadows a quiet rain, and a rolling thunder foreshadows a downpour.
Step 4
Plants and trees can "tell" a lot about the weather. If there are very few rowan trees in the forest, autumn will be dry, and a lot will be rainy. Hoarfrost on the trees portends frost, and if the aspen sheds its leaves "face up" - wait for a cold winter, with the wrong side up - warm. If the spruces raise their paws up, and the scales of the cones fit tightly to each other, then it will soon rain. The drooping white flowers of the meadow core and celandine will "tell" about this, and water lilies and dandelions in such cases cover their color. If the buds and leaves appear first in the oak, and then in the ash, then it is worth waiting for a dry summer. This is also evidenced by the birch that blooms earlier than alder.
Step 5
Insects are also excellent weather indicators. If, in clear, calm weather, the urticaria butterfly is looking for a place protected from the wind - to be in the rain, the cricket begins to sing in the evening - it will get warmer. For ants, work is in full swing for a good, clear day, and if they hide in an anthill, then the first snow will fall soon. If this happens in the summer, then it is to rain. Mosquitoes bite all day - wait for a long rain. If the midges are twisting in a column - be good weather. The spider that weaves its web will also "tell" about the same. But if he destroys it and hastily climbs into the crack, then the weather will change for the worse.
