Predicting Weather

You can rely on others to tell you about the weather – OR you could predict it for yourself...

,,.Here’s what to do:

 

• First - check the grass at sunrise. If there’s dew on there – it probably won’t rain. If it’s dry – that could indicate wind or clouds and potential rain.

• While you’re checking the grass – throw a piece into the air to detect wind direction. Easterly winds indicate an approaching storm front – westerly winds the opposite.

• Finally – build a campfire. If the smoke rises steadily – you won’t need an umbrella. If the smoke swirls and descends – pack a raincoat.
