#MEwx Spider Web Weather Proverb

You’ll need to know this spider-related proverb when spring slowly gives way to summer.

 

“If spiders are many and spinning their webs, the spell will soon be very dry.”

Spider webs are incredibly sensitive to moisture in the air. When humidity is high, their webs can absorb that water, making them heavy to the point of sometimes even breaking. Spiders are aware of this, so when they sense high humidity, they are most apt to stay in their hiding places. For humans, this is a sign that rain/poor weather is on its way. When they sense dry air (a sign of good weather), they’ll come out and spin their webs freely, knowing they have a few days of happy hunting.
