In the past, without weather forecasts, people relied on changes in their surroundings to predict weather conditions and identify Wind, rain, cloudy, and clear weather. They used this information to arrange agricultural tasks, select crops, and prepare for disasters。 In rural areas, there were experts in such folk sayings—each sentence was a valuable reference based on the experience of previous generations!
Interpreting Weather Through Wind
If it has been clear for a long time, west wind will bring rain; if it has rained continuously and then starts to blow west winds, the weather will soon clear up。 If it has been clear for a long time and there is a west wind, it may rain。 If it rains for a long time and then starts to blow west winds, the weather will become clear。
If the east wind blows during the night, tomorrow will be a sunny day. If the east wind rises at midnight, expect good weather the next day!
Southern winds bring mist and dew; northern winds bring cold and frost。 A southern wind means fog or dew, while a northern wind brings cold weather and possibly Freezing frost.
If it keeps windy until noon, the wind will continue until the light is on (dustk). If the wind doesn’t stop by noon, it will keep blowing until evening。
If there is no wind but waves on the sea, a typhoon will come within three days。 If the sea becomes rough without any wind, prepare for a typhoon in the next three days!
If it rains and then blows east wind, it will rain again on the next day. Heavy rain followed by strong Dongfeng indicators more rain the following day.
Understanding Weather Through Natural Signs
If magpies build their nests high, there will be heavy rain that year。 High nests of magpies suggest excessive rainfall and possible flooding。
If it rains for a long time and birds start singing, the weather will clear up soon。 Birdsong during prolonged rain means clearing skies ahead!
If birds land on boats, rain is coming。 Birds landing on ships indicate approaching rain。
Predicting Weather By Observing Clouds
Clouds like castles in the sky mean thunderstorms are on their way。 If cotton-like clouds appear in the morning, expect rain by afternoon。 Rain in the morning clears up by night; If there are clouds at night, prepare for rain.
If black and white clouds mix, it will rain soon; if clouds are scattered, clear weather follows。
Clouds shaped like plumes or hooks indicate wind; If the clouds are hook shaped, it means strong winds are coming. Rolling clouds resemble waves—expect a storm!
A Final Note
Remember, these proverbs provide general guidance and should be combined with modern meteorological information for accurate weather prediction。
