O high level sensitivity in animals and insects, even scientists have ceased to argue. This fact has already been proven and needs no introduction. It is not clear how beings, devoid of human instincts, manage to accurately anticipate even the slightest changes in nature, from ordinary weather changes to serious cataclysms in the form of earthquakes and tsunamis.

One can wonder for a long time about how they manage to feel fluctuations and changes. Maybe the instincts of self-preservation or banal intuition work, if you can talk about it in the framework of a discussion of animals. Actually, it doesn't matter. It is interesting that the signs of the weather according to animals were formed thanks to someone else's powers of observation. You can show your own by watching the representatives wildlife or even pets.

The easiest way to keep an eye on those who are nearby. It is understandable because pets can predict the weather every day. It is enough to know what their behavior means. That's the whole secret.

cats

Cats are very sensitive to temperature changes. They love warmth and comfortable conditions. A lot of signs about animals about the weather appeared precisely thanks to mustachioed pets.

Before the onset of persistent frosts, the cat begins to behave in a special way. She increasingly hides in secluded corners of the dwelling, looking for warm places, curls up and sleeps for a long time. This sign about the weather for animals has always been considered the most correct. This behavior at the end of autumn is quite natural. But it is worth paying attention to it in the middle of winter, if already for a long time there were no severe colds and the weather pleased with stability.

Attention! A harbinger of warm weather is the playful mood of cats. They begin to scratch wooden objects and lay imposingly in the center of the room, stretching out their bodies and washing their faces with their paws.

Signs about the weather from animals can be determined accurately if you are observant. For example, if a cat sits at the window for a long time, then winter is over and spring is approaching.

Dogs

Dogs are less sensitive than cats, but they also have their own behavioral patterns that can be seen as signs of the weather.

Dogs also curl up in a ball when the cold approaches. The dog lies with its paws spread out different sides if waiting for spring.

The weather deteriorates and you need to wait for bad weather if the dog has an unusual appetite, and it behaves too actively: digs holes, gnaws toys. This behavior is explained by the fact that the animal feels that the weather is getting worse and tries to eat enough and play enough.

Livestock

If apartment pets already feel the change of weather and make signs based on them, then speaking of those who live in the village, we can safely say that there are barometers next to them. They can be horses, cows, sheep, pigs and sheep. Livestock is close to nature and can predict all the vagaries of the weather:

• Cows eat a lot before heavy rains;
• The herd does not want to walk for a long time and runs from the pasture, which means that winter is coming;
• Sheep and rams begin to huddle before the cold;
• Pigs squeal loudly in winter, which means there will be a strong snowstorm;
• The boar drags rags and garbage into the barn before a rain with a thunderstorm.

Birds

Chickens begin to tuck one paw before cold weather. When the roosters start crowing earlier than usual, winter is coming to an end. The bird feels that soon the dawns will come earlier.

Decorative birds: parrots and canaries become especially silent and sad before bad weather.

When sparrows build their shelters from twigs and rags, it means that it will snow.

Swallows begin to circle before spring thunderstorms.

Birds are considered to be especially prescient with regard to natural phenomena. They are more defenseless and forced to prepare in advance for drastic changes. Therefore, their signs of the weather can be trusted.

Insects

Another class of wildlife that predicts the weather quite accurately. It is more difficult to observe them, therefore, there will be much less signs associated with insects, but they exist.

The ladybug fluttered from her hand very quickly, which means that the day will be sunny and clear. And if she hesitates and tries to hide, then the day will be rainy and cold.

Earthworms crawl out onto the pavement after rain, but not only feel the moisture after a drought, they can appear long before the rain.

Spiders sit in the center of the web when they are sure it will be warm. By the way, you can watch them in the apartment. True omen about the weather - this is when spiders stop hiding and appear more often.

The chirping of grasshoppers speaks of an approaching drought and heat. Especially if they sing all night without stopping.

But the ants become very angry and aggressive before the cold snap. They start working harder. They cover their shelters with all sorts of leaves and branches. So, they hope to protect them from destruction during bad weather.

Animals, birds and insects have long been considered the best predictors of the weather. This is quite understandable. In modern conditions, it is enough to turn on the weather forecast to find out whether it will be warm soon or vice versa, when to expect fluffy snow. Previously, these benefits of civilization were not available. Life was austere and animal watching was a natural activity. So, there were folk signs about the weather about animals. Passed from mouth to mouth, they have survived to this day. Signs about the weather that nature itself whispered. A person can only accept them and use them in everyday life.

The patterns of natural phenomena, revealed as a result of many years of observations of our ancestors, eventually turned into folk signs. By the behavior of animals and birds, as well as other signs, it was possible to find out the nature of the weather for the near future or for the season ahead. Numerous signs of the prediction of nature are plausible today. Knowing them, you can predict planting or harvesting, prepare for impending bad weather, especially away from home and settlements.

Despite the fact that the climate and natural phenomena have changed over several decades, and even more so, centuries, many folk signs still help to reliably determine the weather for the next hours, days, months. Weather forecast by local features based on observation of natural phenomena, celestial bodies.

Cumulus clouds to clear weather

So, clear, warm weather means the following signs:

• Cumulus clouds
• gray morning sky
• The dawn is golden in the evening, and the sky is clear.

In winter, the harbingers of a clear day will be: the blue morning sky, the morning frost on the trees, the rapidly running clouds across the sky. Thick snow in large flakes also means that it will warm up soon. But fine snow, low clouds in the afternoon, mean a long cold snap.

The following signs indicate bad weather, rainy weather:

• There is no dew on the morning grass.
• Gray evening sky.
• The sun sets behind a cloud in the evening.
• red clouds early morning, even before sunrise.
• Clouds of different shades mean bad weather with different precipitation.
• Sharp evening warming
• Stuffy air during sunrise.
• The water in the river is getting warmer.
• Smoke from a chimney or from a fire spreads along the ground. If it rises in a column, the weather will be fine.

Recognizing folk signs by predicting the weather helps to prepare for a change in the weather.

Weather forecasting according to folk signs can also be carried out according to heavenly bodies. So, brightly burning stars in winter are associated with the onset of a hard frost the next day. But the red moon in winter means warming soon. An inverted "yoke" month also indicates warming, and bright yellow color it means the approach of severe frosts.

In summer, a bright month in the sky means a dry season. If it is not visible in the sky, small precipitation should be expected. A moon in a bluish haze portends a strong storm. An abrupt change in the weather is indicated by the fact that bright stars darkened sharply.

By what the weather is like in spring, one can judge summer and autumn: if it is dry, one should expect a cold autumn, and if it is warm, a cold summer with frequent precipitation.

Animal weather prediction

Pets, especially cats, are considered the best harbingers of the weather. So, if during the rain on the street the pet does not curl up, then soon the weather will be clear and sunny. If the cat is stretched out on the floor, the weather will be warm, and when it tries to find a warm corner or curl up in a ball, a cold snap is expected or very coldy in winter. With the restless behavior of this animal, a strong storm can be predicted.

Weather prediction for other animals, insects and birds:

• If spiders weave long webs, this portends hot and clear weather. If they hide, bad weather will come.
• If the dog starts rolling on the ground, rainy weather is coming.
• Bees feel the approach of rain well: they begin to swarm near the hive, leave the flowers and gather in small groups. In the same way, dragonflies stray in flocks, fly randomly, and ants seal the passages in the anthill. In addition, if the blood-sucking insects have become especially aggressive, this means that rain is soon approaching.
• The loud croaking of frogs portends warm and clear weather. The same thing means the incessant cuckooing from the very morning.
• If the roosters begin to sing too early in the winter, it will soon get warmer.
• If the poultry does not hide during the rain, it means that it will be short-lived. When the chickens begin to hide, inclement weather is to be expected.
• Swallows hiding under the roof predict fast attack hurricane or storm. If they fly low to the ground, it will soon rain, and if they fly high, it will be windy.
• The onset of the dry period is signaled by sparrows huddling in flocks and flying among the trees. If they are too noisy, then it will rain soon, and in winter it means a snowstorm.
• A domestic waterfowl diving into the water portends rain. If the ducks are quiet, a thunderstorm should be expected.
• Roosters or hens calling to each other portend the approach of inclement weather.
• Any bird sitting on the very tops of trees portends bad weather.
• If the ducks fly south too early in autumn, the winter will be early, and the snow will also fall early.
• A month after the rooks arrive, the snow melts.
• If a lot of May beetles are seen, then the summer will be hot, dry.

Going fishing, you can watch the fish - if it is playful in the evening, then good weather is expected. When she "walks" along the bottom, it will soon begin to rain.

Folk weather predictions for plants

Determining the weather is possible not only by the behavior of animals or birds, but also by plants:

• A harsh and snowy winter promises a rich harvest of nuts, but a small number of mushrooms in the forest. A large number of acorns and field thistle also portends a cold winter.
• The winter will be warm, provided that a lot of sorrel has grown in summer.
• To determine what the summer will be like, watching the blossoming leaves on the trees will help: if the first leaves appeared first on the birch, and then on the alder, the summer will be dry and hot, and if vice versa, it will be cold and rainy. The same goes for oak - if it blossomed before ash, the summer will be dry.
• A large amount of mountain ash promises a rainy autumn, and a small amount promises a dry one.
• The harbingers of impending rain are: the intensification of the smell emitted by honeysuckle, the opening of thorns by burdock, the declination of violets to the ground, the unrolling of calendula corollas, the shrinking of clover. The smell of many trees that secrete resin, sap or nectar is greatly enhanced before rain.
• By the blossoming maple one can judge the onset of the warm season, which means that winter has receded.
• By the flowers and leaves of a water lily, one can guess the onset of frost or a prolonged downpour: at the same time, the flowers and leaves do not rise from the water.
• The onset of the sowing season has always been marked by the flowering of juniper in the spring.
• If the bird cherry has blossomed, it is worth postponing the sowing until warming.

A snowy winter is foreshadowed by rapid autumn leaf fall. Summer will be short and rainy if the birch exudes a lot of sap, and dandelions start to bloom in early spring. Oak, bird cherry blossom to cold weather, frosts. If the oak turns green before the ash, short-term rains with cooling will begin, and if vice versa, prolonged heavy rains will begin.

Animals have been side by side with humans since time immemorial, and as you know, they feel everything much sharper, whether it be natural phenomena or impending troubles. Over time, people have learned to notice and decipher the signs given by animals, which have developed into folk signs and have not lost their relevance to this day.

Murkin's signs

cats have always been rightfully considered magical and prophetic animals among many peoples of the world. They were worshiped, they were feared, and at the same time, they were waiting for their mercy, because. it was believed that the favor and love of a cat brings good luck. Cats are the very animals that have a direct connection with the astral world. Living at the intersection of the subtle and physical worlds, they can process the negative energy of their owner or home into a positive and clean one. Thus cats are considered the best doctors and psychics among pets. You should not expect boundless devotion and obedience from a cat, like from a dog. This is an isolated animal in its own way, but always ready to come to your aid, sensing something wrong. To have a cat in the house means to have energy protection. She herself will come to your aid and lie down on the place where you have a disease or drive away uninvited astral guests.

Signs play an important role in the lives of many people. No one will be able to list them all. It is better to follow all the rules that are associated with signs. After all, you will agree that you often bypassed a black cat, remembering that God protects the safe.

There are many signs that are associated with animals. There is an opinion that animals, insects and birds have a more developed sense for various events than people. When they do something, they indicate to people that they should beware of something or give them good signs.

Crow: If a raven sits on the dome of the temple or on the bell tower, it means that there will be a commemoration in this church. If he sits on the roof of a residential building, then someone in the house will die.

Pigeon: If a dove flies through the window, there will be a fire or someone will die. But sometimes it is also considered a sign of news.

Worm: if earthworms crawl out, then it's raining.

Spider: there is popular belief stating that all spiders, from small to large, are very harmful insects. If someone accidentally eats it, then a tumor will appear in his stomach. If someone kills a spider with his left foot, he will remove 40 sins from himself. The spider crawls up, then you have to wait for the guests, and if down, then the news. Killing a spider with your left hand is for money, and if the spider is large, then there will be more money.

Bear: When bears are found near roads and human habitations, it means that there is famine in the forest.

Wood: If a fruit tree is planted and the carcass of an animal is not buried under it, then it will not bear fruit.

Hare: if you chase two hares, you will not be able to catch either of them.

Bear: When a bear comes across first, it's good.

Dog: Expect bad luck if the dog howls; there will be a dead person if at the same time she holds her nose to the ground, and if she holds it up, there will be a fire. If a dog whines, then someone will get sick.

Dog howls: howls not in the direction of your house - this is not scary; it will be bad for the person in whose direction she will howl.

Hare: If a hare runs through the village, you have to wait for a fire; when he crosses the road, it means you have to beware of something. In order for this sign to never come true, you need to roll over three times in the same place. If you eat a piece of rabbit meat, you will be handsome.

Squirrel: crosses the road or meets on the way - this is not good.

Frog: a frog jumped into the house - good luck will enter with it.

Horse: When a horse neighs, you have to wait for good news. If the horse snorts on the road, then we should expect a joyful meeting. When a horse stumbles under a rider, good luck does not have to wait. If you meet a bald horse in the morning, then this day you should not expect success.

Fox: If you meet a fox on the road, it will be bad.

See a cat: If a cat reaches for someone, this is a new thing, and if it rushes from one corner to another, there will be joy, and maybe a quarrel. If a cat runs in front of the cart, then the people sitting in it need to turn their hats around their axis. When a cat meows endlessly, you need to wait for replenishment in the family, and if it itches or washes, you need to get ready to meet guests.

It is not good if the cat crosses the road from the left side to the right: in this case, you need to look at some tree on the right three times and spit three times. If the cat crosses the road with right side on the left side, then it's okay, but still you need to look again three times already at any tree on the left and also spit three times.

When a black cat crosses the road, it is worth returning, otherwise one must expect failure: in order for this sign not to come true, you need to take a twig and, breaking it into two halves, throw them in opposite directions; you can also put middle finger on the right hand on the forefinger the same hand; or, turning once around its axis, continue on its way in the same direction. If the cat looks out the window, resting against the window frames, you have to wait for the guests. If the road crosses tricolor cat- there is nothing wrong with that.
