1. 燕子高飞晴天告，燕子低飞雨天报。

1. Swallows flying high announce sunny weather, while swallows flying low predict rain.

2. 蚯蚓出洞——地面潮湿柔软，蚯蚓会爬出地面，表示天将下雨之征兆。

2. The earthworms come out of the hole - the ground is wet and soft, and earthworms爬出地面, indicating that it will rain soon.

3. “云往东，刮阵风；云往西，披蓑衣”：这里所指的云，是低压区里的低云。低压是自西向东的（实际上往往是自西南向东北移动）。云往西，说明该地处于低压前部，本地将因低压移来而降雨；云往东，说明低压已经移过本地，本地处于低压后部，天气即将转晴，转晴之前常常要刮一阵风。

3. "If the clouds move east, a breeze will blow; if the clouds move west, put on your rain cloak": The clouds referred to here are the low clouds in the low-pressure area. The low-pressure system moves from west to east (actually, it often moves from southwest to northeast). When the clouds move westward, it indicates that the area is located in the front of the low-pressure system, and it will rain as the low-pressure system moves in; when the clouds move eastward, it means that the low-pressure system has passed over the local area, and the area is now in the rear of the low-pressure system. The weather will turn sunny soon, and a breeze often precedes the clear weather.

4. “炮台云，雨淋淋”：炮台云指堡状高积云或堡状层积云，多出现在低压槽前，表示空气不稳定，一般隔8～10小时左右有雷雨降临。

4. "Bastion Cloud, Rained Upon": Bastion cloud refers to the cumulus castellanus or cumulus fractus clouds, which often appear in front of a low-pressure trough, indicating unstable air. Generally, thunderstorms will arrive within 8 to 10 hours.

5. “棉花云，雨快临”：棉花云指絮状高积云，出现这种云表明中层大气层很不稳定，如果空气中水汽充足并有上升运动，就会形成积雨云，将有雷雨降临。

5. "Cotton cloud, rain is coming": Cotton clouds refer to fibrous altostratus clouds. The appearance of such clouds indicates that the middle atmosphere layer is very unstable. If there is sufficient water vapor in the air and upward movement, it will form cumulonimbus clouds, bringing thunderstorms.

6. 十月雁门开，大雁脚下带霜来。?>

6. In October, the Yanmen Pass opens, and the wild geese bring frost with their footsteps.

9. 鲤鱼跳龙门，大雨定倾盆。

9. Carp leaps over the dragon gate, heavy rain is sure to pour.

10. “西北天开锁，明朝大太阳”：指阴雨天时，西北方向云层裂开，露出一块蓝天，称“天开锁”。这说明本地已处在阴雨天气系统后部，随着阴雨系统东移，本地将雨止云消，天气转好。

10. “The lock of the northwest sky is opened, and a big sun will shine tomorrow morning”: This refers to the situation where, during a rainy or cloudy day, the clouds in the northwest direction crack open, revealing a patch of blue sky, known as "the lock of the sky opened." This indicates that the local area is at the rear of the rainy or cloudy weather system. As the weather system moves eastward, the local area will stop raining and the clouds will dissipate, leading to improved weather conditions.

11. “乌云接落日，不落今日落明日”：指太阳落山时，西方地平线下升起一朵城墙似的乌云接住太阳，说明乌云东移，西边阴雨天气正在移来，将要下雨。一般来说，如接中云，则当夜有雨；如接高云，则第二天有雨。但如西边的乌云呈条块状或断开，或本地原来就多云，那就不是未来有雨的征兆了。

11. "The dark clouds meet the setting sun, not falling today but tomorrow": This refers to a situation where a dark cloud resembling a city wall rises below the western horizon at sunset, blocking the sun. It indicates that the dark cloud is moving eastward, and the rainy weather from the west is approaching, and it will rain soon. Generally speaking, if the middle cloud blocks the sun, it will rain that night; if the high cloud blocks the sun, it will rain the next day. However, if the dark clouds in the west are in strip-like or disjointed shapes, or if there are already many clouds locally, then it is not a sign of rain in the near future.

12. “天上钩钩云，地下雨淋淋”：钩钩云气象上叫做钩卷云，它一般出现在暖锋面和低压的前面，钩卷云出现，说明锋面或低压即将到来，是雨淋淋的先兆。但是，雨后或冬季出现的钩钩云，则会连续出现晴天或霜冻，所以又有“钩钩云消散，晴天多干旱”，“冬钩云，晒起尘”的谚语。

12. "Clouds hanging in the sky, rain pouring on the ground": The cloud referred to here is called a hook cloud in meteorology, which generally appears in front of warm fronts and low-pressure systems. The appearance of a hook cloud indicates that the warm front or low-pressure system is about to arrive, serving as a forewarning of heavy rain. However, hook clouds that appear after rain or during winter will lead to consecutive sunny days or frost, hence the proverbs "When the hook cloud clears, sunny days bring drought" and "Winter hook clouds, dust will be raised."

13. “黄云上下翻，将要下冰蛋”：黄云多是暖湿空气强烈上升所致，出现这种情况多降阵雨与冰雹。

13. "The yellow clouds roll up and down, indicating that hailstones are about to fall": The abundance of yellow clouds is often caused by the strong upward movement of warm and moist air, and this situation often leads to thunderstorms and hailstorms.

14. 泥鳅跳，大雨到，泥鳅静，天气晴。

14. The eel jumps, heavy rain is coming; the eel is still, the weather will be clear.

16. 群雁南飞天将冷，群雁北飞天将暖。

16. When the flock of geese fly south, the weather will turn cold; when the flock of geese fly north, the weather will turn warm.

17. “山戴帽，大雨到”：山戴帽是说气压低，空中水汽多在山顶形成云层。至于是否会降雨，一般要视情况而定，如云逐渐降低且加厚，降雨的可能性大，反之，云逐渐抬升变薄，</PGN0156ATXT/PGN>下雨的可能性就小。

17. "Mountains wear hats, heavy rain is coming": "Mountains wear hats" refers to the situation where the atmospheric pressure is low, and there is a lot of water vapor in the air, which forms clouds at the top of the mountains. As for whether it will rain, it generally depends on the specific conditions. If the clouds gradually lower and thicken, there is a high possibility of rain. Conversely, if the clouds gradually rise and become thinner, the possibility of rain becomes smaller. <PGN0156ATXT/PGN>

18. “江猪过河，大雨滂沱”：江猪指雨层云下的碎雨云，出现这种云，表明雨层云中水汽很充足，大雨即将来临。有时碎雨云被大风吹到晴天无云的地方，夜间便看到有像江猪的云飘过“银河”，也是有雨的先兆。

18. "The river pig crosses the river, a heavy rain pours down": The river pig refers to the fragments of rain clouds under the stratocumulus clouds. The appearance of such clouds indicates that there is ample moisture in the stratocumulus clouds, and a heavy rain is about to come. Sometimes, the fragments of rain clouds are blown by the strong wind to the place without clouds on a sunny day, and at night, one can see clouds resembling river pigs floating across the "milky way," which is also a sign of rain.

19. 千百年来，我国劳动人民在生产实践中根据云的形状、来向、移速、厚薄、颜色等的变化，总结了丰富的“看云识天气”的经验，并将这些经验编成谚语。我们在这里将这些有关“看云识天气”的谚语汇总在一起，有兴趣的朋友不妨留心作一些观察对照。

19. For thousands of years, the laboring people of our country, through their production practices, have summarized a wealth of experiences in "guessing the weather by observing clouds" based on the changes in cloud shape, direction, speed, thickness, and color, etc., and have compiled these experiences into proverbs. Here, we have compiled these proverbs related to "guessing the weather by observing clouds" together. Those who are interested might take the time to make some observations for comparison.

20. “天上灰布悬，雨丝定连绵”：灰布云指雨层云，大多由高层云降低加厚蜕变而成，范围很大、很厚，云中水汽充足，常产生连续性降水。</PGN0155ATXT/PGN>

20. "Grey cloth hangs in the sky, rain will surely continue": Grey cloth clouds refer to stratus clouds, which are mostly formed by the transformation of high-level clouds that descend and thicken. They cover a large and thick area, have sufficient water vapor in the clouds, and often result in continuous precipitation. <PGN0155ATXT/PGN>

21. 夏天，要是在池塘旁，看见青蛙集会，就表示要下雨了。

21. In summer, if you see frogs gathering by a pond, it's a sign that rain is coming.

22. 泥鳅吹泡、起跳，场上晒谷快收好。

22. Eels blow bubbles, leap up, the field sun-dried grain is about to be gathered.

23. 蜻蜓赶场，大水当防。

23. Dragonflies rush to the market, be cautious of high waters.

24. “天上鲤鱼斑，明天晒谷不用翻”（瓦块云，晒煞人）：鲤鱼斑是指透光高积云，产生这种云的气团性质稳定，到了晚上，一遇到下沉气流，云体便迅速消散，次日将是晴好天气。但是，如果云体好像细小的鱼鳞，则是卷积云，这种云多发生在低压槽前或台风外围，近期会刮风或下雨，所以又有“鱼鳞天，不雨也风颠”的谚语。

24. "Sky full of carp spots, no need to turn the rice tomorrow" (Broom cloud, scorching sun): The carp spots refer to the altostratus lenticularis, which is formed by an air mass with stable properties. At night, when encountering sinking air currents, the cloud will dissipate rapidly, and the next day will be clear and fine weather. However, if the cloud body resembles tiny scales of fish, it is a cirrus cloud, which often occurs in front of a low-pressure trough or around the periphery of a typhoon, indicating that there will be wind or rain in the near future. Hence, there is also the proverb, "Carp scale sky, no rain but windy."

25. 雨中知了叫，不久晴天到。

25. Cicadas sing in the rain, and clear skies will soon be here.

26. 田螺出水面，不久暴雨见。

26. The snail peeks above the water, and soon heavy rain appears.

27. “云交云，雨淋淋”：云交云指上下云层移动方向不一致，也就是说云所处高度的风向不一致，常发生在锋面或低压附近，所以预示有雨，有时云与地面风向相反，则有“逆风行云，天要变”的说法。

27. "Clouds interlock, rain pours down": "Clouds interlock" refers to the case where the movement directions of upper and lower cloud layers are inconsistent, meaning the wind directions at different altitudes of the clouds are not the same. This often occurs near frontal systems or low-pressure areas, so it is a sign of rain. Sometimes, when the wind direction of the clouds is opposite to that of the ground, there is the saying "Clouds moving against the wind, the weather is about to change."

28. 当然老鼠也会搬家或者把洞堵死，还有鱼儿跃出水面，都是对气压变化做出的反应，鱼儿想要呼吸，就跳出水面，也有吃肉的鱼儿，跳出水面是为了吃低飞的虫子，当然也是因为湿度大，虫子只能在水面飞。

28. Of course, mice will move or block their holes, and fish will leap out of the water as well, all of which are reactions to changes in air pressure. Fish leap out of the water to breathe, and there are also predatory fish that jump out to catch low-flying insects. This is also because of the high humidity, which allows insects to only fly near the water surface.

29. 燕子低飞要落雨。

29. Swallows flying low mean rain is coming.

30. 燕子低飞蛤蟆叫：我们知道燕子低飞是为了抓空中的飞虫，由于下雨前空气中的湿度大增，打湿了飞虫的翅膀，它们就无法飞高，所以燕子为了抓它们，就只能往地处飞，并不神奇，而蛤蟆也是如此，它们在遇到下雨前的天气，空气湿度大了以后，气压会有变化，导致蛤蟆会叫，其实也是为了呼吸而已。

30. Swallows flying low and toads croaking: We know that swallows fly low to catch flying insects in the air. Before it rains, the humidity in the air increases significantly, wetting the wings of the flying insects, which prevents them from flying high. Therefore, swallows have to fly low to catch them, and this is not神奇. The same is true for toads. When they encounter weather with high humidity before it rains, the air pressure changes, causing the toads to croak. In fact, it's just for breathing.

31. “早上乌云盖，无雨也风来”：是说早晨东南方向有黑云遮日，预示有雨。因为早晨吹暖湿的东南风，温度较本地空气为高，形成上冷下热，水汽易上升成云，再加上白天地面受热，空气对流上升，更促使云层抬高，水汽遇冷成水滴，从而可能使天气变为不风即雨的情况。

31. "If there are dark clouds in the morning, it will rain even without wind": This saying refers to the situation where dark clouds are blocking the sun in the southeastern direction in the morning, which is a sign of impending rain. Because the morning brings warm and moist southeastern winds, which are higher in temperature than the local air, creating a situation of cooler upper layers and warmer lower layers, water vapor is more likely to rise and form clouds. Furthermore, as the ground heats up during the day, the air rises due to convection, which further raises the cloud layers. When water vapor cools down, it condenses into water droplets, which may lead to weather conditions where rain occurs without wind.

32. 自古以来比较为人们所熟知的有，青蛙鸣叫、燕子低飞等下雨之前兆，准确度颇高。另外还有几种：

32. Among the more well-known signs that people have long observed before rain are the croaking of frogs and the low flight of swallows, which have a fairly high accuracy. In addition, there are several others:

33. 蜘蛛张网兆天晴，蜘蛛收网天将雨。

33. When a spider spins its web, it promises fair weather; when the spider retracts its web, rain is on its way.

34. 昨晚儿子做作业，让举出几个动物在下雨前的反应？今天搜集整理了一些孩子们比较常见的。燕子低飞，蛇过道，大雨不久就来到 蜻蜓飞得低，出门带雨衣知了鸣，天放晴；蝉儿叫叫停停，连阴雨将来来临蜜蜂窝里叫，大雨就来到；蜜蜂不出窝，风雨快如梭蚊子集堂中，明朝带斗篷；蚊子乱咬人，不久雨来临；蚊虫咬得凶，雨在三日中蚂蚁排成行，大雨茫茫；蚂蚁搬家，大雨哗哗，蚂蚁衔蛋跑，大雨就来到蚯蚓封洞有大雨蜘蛛结网准送晴，蜘蛛收网准阴大蛇横路，泥鳅上翻，蚯蚓出土，明天有雨河里鱼打花，天上有雨下鲤鱼跳龙门，大雨定倾盆田螺出水面，不久暴雨见乌龟背冒汗，出门带雨伞鸡宿迟、兆阴雨；鸡登高鸣晴群雀洗凉，雨下大又强狗洗脸，猫吃草，不到三天雨来到狗咬青草晴，猫咬青草雨狗卧灰堆，天阴雨催猪衔草，寒潮到；猪筑窝，下大雪

34. Last night, my son was doing his homework and was asked to list several animals' reactions before it rains. Today, I have collected and organized some common reactions observed by children. Swallows fly low, snakes cross the path, and heavy rain will soon arrive. Dragonflies fly low, and it's time to carry an umbrella when you go out. Cicadas sing, and the sky will clear up; cicadas call and stop, and a continuous rainy weather is on its way. Bees sing in the nest, and heavy rain will soon come; bees do not come out of the nest, and the wind and rain will come quickly. Mosquitoes gather in the hall, and it's time to carry an umbrella tomorrow; mosquitoes bite fiercely, and rain will come soon; mosquitoes bite severely, rain will fall in three days. Ants line up, heavy rain will come in a vast expanse; ants move their home, heavy rain will come pouring down, and ants carry eggs and run, heavy rain will soon arrive. Earthworms seal their holes, heavy rain is coming; spiders spin their webs to herald clear weather, and spiders will withdraw their webs to signal a rainy day. A big snake crosses the road, mud eels flip over, earthworms come out of the ground, and it will rain tomorrow. Fish in the river splash, it will rain from the sky; carp jump over the dragon gate, heavy rain will definitely pour down. Snails come out of the water, heavy rain will come soon; the turtle's back sweats, and it's time to carry an umbrella when you go out. Chickens roost late, it's a sign of rainy weather; chickens fly high and sing for clear weather, and a group of small birds wash in the cool, rain will come down large and strong. Dogs wash their faces, cats eat grass, and rain will come within three days; dogs bite green grass, it will be sunny; cats bite green grass, it will rain; dogs lie in the gray heap, it will be cloudy and rainy; pigs carry grass, a cold wave is coming; pigs build nests, heavy snow will fall.

35. 蜻蜓也飞低，鱼跳出水面，蚯蚓，蛇爬出洞，地上反潮，石头上有水珠，青蛙叫声发哑，有手癣脚癣的人会发痒，起小水泡，

35. The dragonflies fly low, the fish leap out of the water, earthworms, snakes crawl out of their holes, the ground is damp, water droplets appear on the stones, the frogs' croaks become hoarse, those with hand and foot eczema will feel itchy and develop small blisters.

36. “云往东，车马通；云往南，水涨潭；云往西，披蓑衣；云往北，好晒麦”：根据云的移动方向来预测阴晴，云向东、向北移动，预示着天气晴好；云向西、向南移动，预示着会有雨来临。云的移动方向，一般表示它所在高度的风向。这一谚语说明的是云在低压内不同部位的分布情况。它适用于密布全天、低而移动较快的云。

36. "Clouds moving east, carriages and horses pass; clouds moving south, water swells in ponds; clouds moving west, wear straw raincoats; clouds moving north, a good time to dry wheat": This proverb predicts the weather by observing the direction of cloud movement. When clouds move east or north, it indicates fair weather; when clouds move west or south, it predicts the arrival of rain. The direction of cloud movement generally indicates the wind direction at its height. This proverb explains the distribution of clouds in different parts of a low-pressure system. It applies to clouds that cover the entire sky, are low, and move quickly.

37. 蚂蚁过马路一一在地面挖洞生活的蚂蚁，感觉要下雨洞就会淹水，即会在下雨之前逃之夭夭。

37. Ant crossing the road - Ants that live in holes in the ground will sense that it's going to rain and their holes will flood, so they will run away before it rains.

38. 水缸出汗：过去农村吃水都是到统一的土井中打水，这个水是要比常温低一些，下雨前空气湿度比较大，再加上水缸的水温度比较低，这个效果就跟我们从屋子外面进入水蒸气很大得放，眼镜上会凝结小水珠，道理是一样的，水缸里面凉，空气中的水附着在水缸上，就由气化变成了液化状态，形成了水珠。

38. The water jar "sweating": In the past, in rural areas, people fetched water from a unified earthen well. This water is slightly cooler than room temperature. Before it rains, the air humidity is higher, and combined with the lower temperature of the water in the jar, this effect is similar to when we go from outside to a place with a lot of steam, and condensation forms as tiny water droplets on our glasses. The same principle applies here. The cool temperature inside the water jar causes water vapor in the air to condense on the surface of the jar, changing from a gaseous state to a liquid state, forming water droplets.

39. “云钩向哪方，风由哪方来”：云钩指的是钩卷云的尾部，出现在高空，有时上端有小钩，也有排列成行的。上端小钩所指，是高空风的方向，而高空风往往又与地面相联，所以根据云钩方向大体可测知风的来向。

39. "The direction of the cloud hook indicates the direction of the wind": The cloud hook refers to the tail of the hook-shaped cloud, which appears at high altitudes and sometimes has a small hook at the top, or is arranged in a line. The direction in which the top hook points indicates the direction of the high-altitude wind, and high-altitude winds are often connected with the ground, so the general direction of the wind can be roughly determined by the direction of the cloud hook.

40. 久雨闻鸟声，不久转晴明。

40. After a long rainy period, bird songs are heard, and soon the weather clears up and brightens.

41. “太阳现一现，三天不见面”：指春、夏时节，雨天的中午，云层裂开，太阳露一露脸，但云层又很快聚合变厚，这表明本地正处在准静止锋影响下，准静止锋附近气流升降强烈、多变。上升气流增强时，云层变厚，降雨增大；上升气流减弱时，云层变薄，降雨减小或停止；中午前后，太阳照射强烈，云层上部受热蒸发，或云层下面上升气流减弱，天顶处的云层就会裂开。随着太阳照射减弱，或云层下部上升气流加强，裂开的云层又重新聚拢变厚。因此，“太阳现一现”常预示继续阴雨。这句谚语和“太阳笑，淋破庙”“亮一亮，下一丈”等谚语类同。

41. "The sun appears for a moment, and we don't see it for three days": This refers to the situation during spring and summer, when at noon on a rainy day, the clouds split open and the sun briefly shows its face, but the clouds quickly gather and become thicker again. This indicates that the local area is under the influence of a quasi-stationary front, where the air flow near the quasi-stationary front is strong and changeable. When the upward air flow strengthens, the clouds become thicker and the rainfall increases; when the upward air flow weakens, the clouds become thinner, and the rainfall decreases or stops. Around noon, when the sun's radiation is strong, the upper part of the clouds is heated and evaporated, or the upward air flow below the clouds weakens, causing the clouds at the zenith to split open. As the sun's radiation weakens or the upward air flow below the clouds strengthens, the split clouds gather and become thick again. Therefore, "the sun appearing for a moment" often predicts continuous overcast and rainy weather. This proverb is similar to other proverbs such as "The sun smiles, the temple leaks" and "A brief brightness brings a deep fall of rain."

42. 燕子低飞蛇过道，不久大雨到。

42. Swallows fly low and snakes cross the path; a heavy rain is coming soon.

43. “日落射脚，三天内雨落”：指太阳从云层的空隙中照射下来，称“日射脚”，傍晚出现日射脚，说明对流作用强烈，预示有雨。

43. "Sunset rays on the ground, rain will fall within three days": This refers to the sun's rays shining through the gaps in the clouds, known as "sun rays on the ground." The appearance of sun rays in the evening indicates strong convection, which predicts rain.

44. 其他下雨之前兆有蚊子成群结团，雨蚁成群出现、猫洗脸等。

44. Other signs of rain before it starts include swarms of mosquitoes, groups of rain ants, cats washing their faces, and so on.

45. “蚂蚁搬家蛇过道”：其实就是它们防止被水淹，它们已经预感到了下雨，并不是非常神奇的事情，其实就是通过空气湿度的变化，还有气压的变化，它们对这些非常敏感，也是在自然界中存在的本能，那些欠缺者都已经被淘汰掉了，剩下的都是先知先觉者，能够适应大自然变化的。

45. "Ants carry things home while a snake crosses the path": It's actually just their way of preventing themselves from being flooded. They have anticipated the rain, which is not a very神奇 thing. It's just that they are very sensitive to changes in air humidity and atmospheric pressure. This is an instinct that exists in nature, and those who lack this ability have been eliminated. The ones that remain are the foresighted ones who can adapt to the changes of nature.

46. 蚯蚓封洞，有大雨。

46. Earthworms sealing the holes, heavy rain is coming.

47. 狗吃草，要落雨。

47. The dog eats grass, it will rain.
