In the modern world, it has become quite difficult to predict climatic conditions. This is primarily due to ozone holes, melting glaciers and the formation of various cyclones and anticyclones. But a person even in ancient times noticed what a particular natural phenomenon depends on. Therefore, folk signs appeared that help predict the weather.
In October, it is mid-autumn. Foliage flies around the trees, and the first night frosts appear.
October 1 is considered Arina's day. If on this day you see how the cranes fly to the south, it means that in the middle of the month there will be snow and a cold snap. If they do not fly, then the snow will not fall until November. The next day mentioned in the folk calendar is October 3. If the north wind blows on this day, it will soon be cold, the south wind - towards sunny days, the west - towards cloudy weather, and the east - towards sunny weather.
On October 4, it was noticed: what the weather will be on this day, this will stand for another whole month. If the sun is shining outside, it will be a cold and harsh winter.
If on October 5 the leaves from the birches have not yet fallen, then it will be late winter.
October 14 is one of the most significant holidays of this month - the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos. On this day, the nature of winter is most accurately predicted. If it's cold, then the winter will be cold too. The wind blowing from the north - cold winters, from the south - warm, from the west - there will be a lot of precipitation.
The next noticeable day after the Intercession is October 19. If rain can be observed outside on this day, it will continue until the end of the month.
Sergiy the Winter is celebrated on October 20. On this day, snow may fall, then it will soon melt and winter will not start for a long time. The appearance of mosquitoes will lead to an early warming.
The whole November depends on the weather on October 21. What it will be on this day, so the whole next month.
