Weatherlore

Good Day folks!

It's another #FolkloreThursday, a sunny day is fine by me after the amount of rainfall we have experienced this summer.

Weatherlore has been around for a very long time. Many sailors have used the sky or even seagulls as weather predictors. Weatherlore below...

"Red sky at night, sailor’s delight.

Red sky at morning, sailor take warning."

If you see this bring your boat in and take cover.

"Seagull, seagull sit on the sand. It's never good weather when you're on land."
