Five Ways to Predict the Weather!

Five Ways to Predict  the Weather!

In the past, farmers and sailors used natural signs to predict the weather...

• Hang a piece of dry seaweed up - when rain is on the way it will feel sticky.

• Your hair is longer on a damp day bacause it takes in water from the air and expands!

• Look out for the storm petrel, a sea bird that flies inshore when a storm is on its way.

• Oak and maple trees have leaves that curl when the humidity is very high and the wind is blowing strongly, both signs that a storm is coming.

• There's a saying that,

                   "When chairs squeak, it's about rain they speak"

       Because, wooden chair's absorbs moisture from the air, causing them to squeak.
