    You don't have to be a weatherman to tell people about the weather. If you notice the animals, the sky and the world around, you canpredictweather on your own.

    Examine the moon or sun, but do not look at the sun directl or it will hurt your eyes seriously. If you see a ring around the sun or moon, then warm weather follows. A golden ring around the moon warns us that a storm is on the way. A watery yellow sunset is a sign that rain may be near. Feel the direction of the wind. A wind blowing from the east shows that a storm will probably happen. A wind from the west means a sunny day. Monitor the clouds. There are three things about clouds you should look for: movement, color, and change. As a rule , the higher the clouds, the better the weather.  And the lower the clouds , the worse the weather will be.

    The rainbow has a message, too. If you see the sun in the east and a rainbow in the west, the rain may be coming your way. If the sun is in the west and the rainbow is in the east, the rain will be moving away from you. Look at your shoes as you walk through the grass in the morning. If the grass is wet with dew (露珠), then you can expect dry weather. But if the grass is dry, then it will be wise of you to take your umbrella.
