Heavenly predictions

  • The bright stars shining above at night definitely promise a fine day, but the dimly flickering Milky Way warns that when leaving the house tomorrow, you should wear waterproof shoes and take an umbrella, as precipitation is very likely.
  • The daytime sky is no less eloquent if you learn to correctly interpret its signs. It is quite obvious that dark and heavy clouds floating low above the ground promise bad weather. If there are white clouds among them, then in addition to rain, hail is also very likely. The shape of the clouds will also predict the weather: cumulus - warmth, and stratus - precipitation.
  • According to the nature of the beginning thunderstorm knowledgeable person can determine its nature and duration. Loud thunderclaps warn that a rainstorm is about to break out. Distant and prolonged thunder during rain predicts hail and long-term bad weather. Bubbling puddles also report this.
  • Rainbow is not only amazingly beautiful a natural phenomenon, but also a very accurate weather “informant”. If in the morning it rose high into the sky, expect clear weather, but a low multi-colored arc at sunset indicates impending bad weather. The rainbow rocker does not want to leave the vault of heaven for a long time - soon it will rain again. Its doubled version also warns about this, but a triple rainbow promises many warm days.
  • Morning fog – quite common weather phenomenon in summer. By his “behavior” one can judge his prospects not a day. If the haze quickly dissipates in the rays of the sun, then good weather will arise for a long time, if it stays above the forest, warm rain will fall, if it sank to the water, a clear day will come.

Summer signs from winged weather forecasters

It is very easy to learn about weather changes by the behavior of birds. Who hasn’t heard that before bad weather, swifts and swallows always fly low? However, the variety of “bird” predictions is not limited to this one option.

  • Have storks settled near your house? This useful bird will not only bring happiness to the family, but will also warn about bad weather. If the white-winged creature suddenly stood on both legs at once, and even hid its head under its wing, then a real storm would soon break out.
  • The weather can also be recognized by the behavior of such simple birds as sparrows. If they sit hunched over or selflessly take dust baths, then you should wait heavy rainfall, but a carefree and loud chirping communicates the prospects of a long bucket.
  • Are nightingale trills heard outside your window all night? This sure sign, as well as the prolonged cuckooing of the cuckoo, promises a fine day for tomorrow, while the cries of an owl in the dark foreshadow not only trouble, but also bad weather.
  • Rainy weather is predicted and Domestic bird. Ducks and geese scream and splash in a pond or puddle on the eve of precipitation, roosters crow at inopportune hours, and hens hide their chicks under their wings.

Insects are natural oracles

More eloquent than the birds in the region weather forecasts Only insects appear, which in summer swarm in large numbers in the air, crawl in the grass and flutter from flower to flower.

  • If suddenly a lot of earthworms appear on the surface of the earth, then there is no doubt that it will rain in the very near future. Fishermen know that if these creatures, stored as fish food, suddenly become active, trying to leave the jar, then bad weather is ahead.
  • Bees can also tell a lot about the coming weather. If they show increased activity, then a strong wind will soon rise, they try to leave the hives as early as possible in the morning - a great day is ahead, they return later than usual to spend the night - the next day will be rainy, they land on the walls of the hive - to the heat, and become angrier - to a long absence of precipitation.
  • When columns of mosquitoes and various midges appear in the air in the evening, there is no doubt that the next day will be warm and fine.
  • The lively buzzing of flies is a sure sign of impending good weather, while their complete disappearance indicates that bad weather is approaching.
  • It's easy to learn about weather prospects from the behavior of ants. If these hardworking insects suddenly begin to fuss and seal the entrances to the anthill, then you should expect heavy and prolonged rainfall. But the active and purposeful activity of the ants suggests that no unpleasant surprises are expected.
  • On a summer evening, to find out the forecast for the next day, you should listen to the chirping of grasshoppers. If it sounds loud and confident, then you don’t have to worry that the weather will turn bad, while the complete silence of these sensitive insects warns of bad weather.
  • Another weather forecasting insect that perfectly predicts the weather is spiders. Before precipitation, they all disappear somewhere, and on the eve of a fine day they appear in large numbers on the grass and trees. If an arthropod begins to weave its web while it is raining, then there is no doubt that it will soon end.

What will pets tell you?

Our sensitive pets often predict the weather as well as meteorologists. Moreover, unlike scientific forecasts, they are always “at hand” and are almost never wrong.

  • A sure sign of future rain will be the restless behavior of the cow herd. On the eve of precipitation, the cows roar loudly, huddle together, sleep a lot during the day and drink little.
  • The behavior of horses is no less informative. If they choose a piece of pasture that is located on a hill, then the weather will change in better side: It will become warm and clear. Do the horses raise their muzzles and greedily suck in air through their nostrils? Animals quite definitely sense the approach of precipitation.
  • Pigs are not very elegant creatures, but they are also excellent at predicting the weather in the summer. Sow, basking in a dirty puddle, clearly reports that the heat will last for a long time. If she selflessly itches against a fence or tree, then you can hope for warmth. An animal that prefers a stuffy pigsty fresh air corral, predicts imminent bad weather by his behavior.
  • If a rural resident always has livestock “at hand,” then a city dweller is deprived of this opportunity to find out about the upcoming weather. However, he always has at his disposal faithful friends people - dogs. If a bob or bug suddenly starts rolling on the ground and drinking a lot, then it warns its owner about precipitation.

Plants are the best predictors

Botany lovers, gardeners and gardeners can always learn about weather prospects if they pay attention to trees and bushes, flowers and herbs in the summer. After all, they are no worse than animals and birds at foreseeing any changes.
