It is customary to determine the weather by natural phenomena, the behavior of animals, insects and birds. Living beings feel changes long before they start and can “tell” a lot by their behavior.
Instructions
Step 1
Determining the weather can be based on completely different factors. You can follow the behavior of plants, insects and animals, or you can be guided by the analysis of natural phenomena at the moment. You can predict the weather not only for the next day, but also for the month, season and even year. What are the signs that are being adopted?
Step 2
The upcoming weather can be judged by the appearance of the clouds and their movement, as well as the direction and strength of the wind, optical effects and the color of the dawn around the celestial bodies - the sun and the moon. So, if cirrus clouds are observed high in the sky, then there is a front opposite to the existing one. If cumulonimbus clouds gather in vertical groups and form a kind of anvil, wait for a heavy rain. If the sky is clear in winter - to frost, and if it is cloudy - to a blizzard.
Step 3
The sun, setting in a cloud, portends a storm. And if a foggy circle is observed near the luminary, there will be blizzards. Crimson dawns at night in spring promise windy weather during the day. If at sunset the sky is drawn from the north - wait for the wind. "Earrings" by the moon - to blizzard and frost. A slightly reddish moon at night foreshadows windy, snowy, but not too cold weather.
Step 4
Birds have a lot to "tell" about the upcoming weather. So, the crowing of the cuckoo at the end of summer heralds a warm autumn. Crowing crows in winter can be interpreted as a strong cold snap. Seeing bathing sparrows is a sign of heat, and if these birds hide their beak in their tail, it will get colder. The bullfinch whistles for the coming winter. If the larks hover high in the sky and sing loudly, expect good weather without precipitation. If during the rain you can hear birds singing, and seagulls sit on the water, then the precipitation will be short. To observe the high flight of swallows in the evenings - to stable, clear weather.
Step 5
Plants are also excellent weather indicators. The closing water lily marks rain. The weeping maple will also "tell" about this. A strong scent of flowers in the air always appears before precipitation. If the night dew stays on the grass until lunchtime, there will be a thunderstorm. The leaves, which quickly fell from the trees a month after the first snow, portend a snowy winter. A good harvest of mountain ash is always in the cold winter, and if it is not enough, then the winter will be snowy and warm. If the bird cherries turn white, expect bad, cold weather.
Step 6
Animals and insects sense a change in the weather long before it begins. The cricket sings in good weather, but is silent in the rain. A spider weaves a web for a dry and warm day. The lower the squirrel nest to the ground, the colder the winter will be. If ducks sit on the water even in cold rain and do not fly away, good weather will last long enough. The appearance of mosquitoes in late autumn marks a mild winter. The cat is scrubbing the floor towards the wind or blizzard.
