Now, seasonal signs are far from being as interesting to people as they used to be, since less attention is paid to the harvest, haymaking, and picking berries and mushrooms. However, folk signs relate not only to wheat, flax or barley, but also to other things that are relevant to modern people.
Weather signs
You can predict the weather by observing the temperature and precipitation on specific days and months. It is believed that if January is warm, then cold weather should be expected in March and April, and if it is warm and rainy in February, then spring will most likely be slushy. Another simple and true omen: if January is similar to March, then January should be expected in March. Those. the warmer the first month of the year, the colder the third will be. It is important to take into account that the weather in January changes from year to year: it is very rare that this month is cold twice in a row.
Special attention is paid to the weather in February: warmth this month can be a sign of dry summer, and low rainfall - hot August.
Weather changes in the coming days can also be judged by some winter signs. If you saw that the birds in the trees have crumpled, or even heard thunder in winter, it means that a blizzard will soon begin. An unusual yellow ring around the sun can also serve as a sign of a strong wind with snow. If crows are circling in the sky for a long time and clouds are walking low, you should soon wait for frost. A sharp cold snap will occur if the stars shine brightly at night.
Interesting winter signs by day
There are special days by which you can judge the weather for several weeks or even months in advance. For example, on the first of December, you should carefully monitor the temperature and precipitation, because the weather on this day will often repeat in the next three months.
On the first of February, you can make an adjustment: what this day turns out to be, this will be the same for a whole month.
If the air temperature outside is very low on December 29, it means that the same severe frosts will last until Epiphany, and the thaw can come only after the end of the holiday. But on January 1, they judge the first day of summer: if snow falls on this day, it means that it will rain on June 1, and if it is frosty, then it will be cold in summer.
Starting in January, one can judge what the spring will be like this year. If January 24 stays warm all day, this is a sure sign that spring will be early and will delight you with sunny days. Later, on February 15, you can use one more sign: if the sun is shining on this day, it means that warmth should be expected at the beginning of March, and if the sky is overcast, most likely spring will come late, and the frosts will last a long time.
There are also special signs for the New Year. It is believed that if on this holiday you only put on new things that you have never worn before, then you will be wearing new clothes all year round. You should also pay attention to the weather: if the sky on New Year's Eve is clear and starry, then the summer will be warm, and the harvest will be rich.
