Augusta, Maine Weather

This is an explanation of a weather proverb many of us have heard. “If the goose honks high, fair weather. If the goose honks low, foul weather.” This proverb has nothing to do with the pitch of a goose’s honk, but rather the altitude of its flight. If the goose “honks high” — or is flying at high altitude, it’s an indication of high barometric pressure, and therefore good weather. If it’s flying lower in the sky, barometric pressure is low, and poor weather is foretold. This is because geese are incredibly adept at flying with optimum air density. When air pressure is high, that optimum level is high in the sky, and the reverse is true for low pressure. So, if geese are flying their V formations high up, get that picnic ready.
