When porpoises sport and play, there will be a storm. When a rain is nigh. The crab his briny home forsakes, And srives on land to a roam. Bubbles over calm beds of water means rain is coming. Marshes give off an eerie light before a rain.
Wells give murky water before a storm.
Look for foam on the river before a rain. Underground miners can smell rain coming. When ditches and ponds Offend the nose, Look for rain And stormy blows. When boiling water more rapidly vanishes, expect rain. If pavements appear rusty, rain will follow.
