No one can change the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell how
the weather will be. This way of telling of what the weather will be like on the following day or two is
called weather forecasting. For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather
and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sigh of coming rain. Many people
feel in their bones the coming of wet weather, their joints ache. Some birds fly high if fine weather is
coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably because
of the insects which they are hunting that they fly low. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this
is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars
twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continues. If a fog appears in the morning just above a
river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be
warm. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come. Most of the above
saying have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather
forecasting.
