"8 animals thought to predict the weather"
1. Frogs
These loud amphibians are said to croak even longer and louder than usual
when bad weather is on the horizon. When you hear their volume increase, you
can assume a storm is brewing.
2. Birds
Depending on how low our feathered friends are flying, we can gauge how bad
the weather is going to be. It's been said that if birds are flying high,
the weather is clear. But if they're flying closer to the ground, the air
pressure of a storm system is causing them pain at higher altitudes.
3. Cows.
Even farmers claim their animals can forecast the weather. According to
legend, when cows sense bad weather, you'll find them restless, antsy and
swatting flies with their tails, or lying down in the pasture to save a dry
spot.
4. Bees and Butterflies.
When bees and butterflies have disappeared from the flower beds, you can
expect some heavy weather coming your way. The folklore goes that if they're
not in their usual spots, something is up.
5. Sheep.
"When sheep gather in a huddle, tomorrow will have a puddle." Although this
rhyme is cute, the weather that comes with it isn't. It's believed you can
expect a storm if these animals crowd together and shield each other.
6. Ladybugs.
One of the cutest insects around can also give us a hint as to the day's
thermostat: "When they swarm, expect a day that's warm." On the other hand,
if you notice the black and red bugs looking for shelter, then cold weather
is on its way.
7. Ants.
In preparation for bad weather, red and black ants have been known to build
up their mounds for extra protection and even to cover the mounds' holes. So
if you notice higher mounds in your yard than usual, it's probably best to
close the windows.
8. Groundhogs.
In America, the most popular legend of an animal that can predict the
weather is the groundhog, and the most famous groundhog is Phil from
Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. If Phil sees his shadow, it means there will be
six more weeks of winter, but if not, we can look forward to an early
spring.
