31. 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。 “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。 “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。 “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。 “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。 “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。 “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。 “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。 “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。 “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。 “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。 “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。 “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。 “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。 “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。 “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,下雨的可能性就小。 “云吃雾下，雾吃云晴”：见到雾之后来了云，可能低气压要来临，是要下雨的兆头。反之，如云消雾起，表示低气压已过，晴朗天气即将来临。 “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。 “早霞不出门，晚霞行千里”：早晨东方无云，西方有云，阳光照到云上散射出彩霞，表明空中水汽充沛或有阴雨系统移来，加上白天空气一般不大稳定，天气将会转阴雨；傍晚如出晚霞，表明西边天空已放晴，加上晚上一般对流减弱，形成彩霞的东方云层，将更向东方移动或趋于消散，预示着天晴。 “久晴大雾阴，久阴大雾晴”：指的是久晴之后出现雾，说明有暖湿空气移来，空气潮湿，是天阴下雨的征兆；久阴之后出现雾，表明天空中云层变薄裂开消散，地面温度降低而使水汽凝结成辐射雾，待到日出后雾将消去，就会出现晴天。 在暖季的早晨，如天边出现了堡状云，表示这个高度上的潮湿气层已经很不稳定，到了午间，低层对流一旦发展，上下不稳定的层次结合起来，就会产生强烈的对流运动，形成积雨云而发生雷雨。所以有“清早宝塔云，下午雨倾盆”的谚语。 另外，有天气预兆的云在演变过程中，往往具有一定的连续性、季节性和地方性。当天空中的云按照卷云、卷层云、高层云、雨层云这样的次序从远处连续移来，而且逐渐由少变多，由高变低，由薄变厚时，就预示着很快会有阴雨天气到来；相反，如果云由低变高、由厚变薄、由成层而崩裂为零散状的云时，就不会有阴雨天气。在暖季早晨，天空如出现底平、顶凸、孤立的云块（淡积云），或移动较快的白色碎云（碎积云），表

31. "Clouds shaped like hooks in the sky, heavy rain on the ground": These hook-shaped clouds, known as hook clouds in meteorology, generally appear in front of warm fronts and low-pressure systems. The appearance of hook clouds indicates that a warm front or low-pressure system is approaching, serving as a precursor to heavy rain. However, hook clouds that appear after rain or in winter can lead to consecutive sunny days or frost, hence the sayings "When hook clouds disperse, sunny days are often dry," and "Winter hook clouds bring dust when the sun shines." "The cannon tower clouds bring heavy rain": Cannon tower clouds refer to堡状高积云 or堡状层积云, which often appear in front of low-pressure troughs and indicate unstable air. Typically, thunderstorms will occur every 8 to 10 hours. "Clouds moving in different directions, heavy rain will follow": This refers to the situation where the upper and lower cloud layers move in different directions, meaning the wind directions at different altitudes are inconsistent. This often happens near fronts or low-pressure systems, so it is a sign of impending rain. Sometimes, when clouds move in the opposite direction of the ground wind, it is said that "when the clouds move against the wind, the weather is about to change." "When a piglet crosses the river, it will rain heavily": The piglet here refers to the fragments of rain clouds under stratocumulus clouds. The appearance of such clouds indicates that the stratocumulus clouds contain abundant water vapor, and heavy rain is about to fall. Sometimes, these fragments of rain clouds are blown by the wind to areas with clear skies, and at night, they appear as piglet-like clouds floating over the "milky way," also serving as a sign of rain. "Cotton clouds indicate rain is near": Cotton clouds refer to fibrous altostratus clouds. Their appearance indicates that the middle atmosphere layer is very unstable. If there is sufficient water vapor and upward movement in the air, it will form cumulonimbus clouds, bringing thunderstorms. "Heavy grey clouds hanging in the sky, rain will continue for a long time": Grey clouds refer to stratocumulus clouds, which are mostly formed by the transformation of high-level clouds that have thickened. They are large and thick, containing abundant water vapor and often leading to continuous precipitation. "If clouds move east, carriages and horses will travel; if clouds move south, water will rise in ponds; if clouds move west, wear a raincoat; if clouds move north, it's a good time to dry wheat": This saying predicts the weather based on the direction of cloud movement. When clouds move east or north, it indicates good weather; when clouds move west or south, it indicates rain is coming. The direction of cloud movement generally represents the wind direction at that altitude. This saying describes 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. "Black clouds meet the setting sun, it won't rain today, it will rain tomorrow": This refers to a situation where a dark cloud like a city wall rises below the setting sun, indicating that the black clouds are moving eastward, and the rainy weather in the west is moving in. Generally, if the middle clouds meet the sun, it will rain that night; if the high clouds meet the sun, it will rain the next day. However, if the black clouds in the west are in strips or are broken, or if there is already a lot of cloudiness locally, it is not a sign of future rain. "Northwest sky opens up, tomorrow will be a sunny day": This refers to the situation where the clouds in the northwest crack open during rainy weather, revealing a patch of blue sky, known as "the sky opening up." This indicates that the local area is at the rear of the rainy weather system, and as the system moves eastward, the local area will stop raining and the clouds will disperse, leading to better weather. "The sun appears for a moment, it won't be seen for three days": This refers to the situation in spring and summer where the clouds part during the noon of a rainy day, and the sun briefly shows its face, but the clouds quickly gather and thicken again. This indicates that the local area is under the influence of a quasi-stationary front, where the air currents are strong and changeable. When the upward air currents strengthen, the cloud layers thicken and the rainfall increases; when the upward air currents weaken, the cloud layers thin out, the rainfall decreases or stops; in the late morning and early afternoon, the sun is strong, the upper part of the cloud layer is heated and evaporated, or the upward air currents below the cloud layer weaken, causing the cloud layer at the top to crack open. As the sun's radiation weakens, or the downward air currents below the cloud layer strengthen, the cracked cloud layer re-gathers and thickens again. Therefore, "the sun appears for a moment" often predicts continued cloudy and rainy weather. This saying is similar to other sayings like "When the sun smiles, the temple will be flooded," and "A brief flash means a foot of rain will follow." "Heavenly carp scales indicate that it will be sunny tomorrow, no need to turn the grain in the sun": Carp scales refer to透光高积云, which are formed by stable air masses. At night, when they encounter sinking air currents, the clouds quickly dissipate, and the next day will be sunny. However, if the cloud bodies look like tiny fish scales, they are cirrostratus clouds, which often occur in front of low-pressure troughs or around typhoons. They indicate that wind or rain will occur in the near future, hence the saying "A fish scale sky means wind or rain even without rain." "If clouds move east, a gust of wind will blow; if clouds move west, wear a raincoat": The clouds referred to here are low clouds in the low-pressure area. The low-pressure system moves from west to east (actually often from southwest to northeast). When clouds move west, it means the local area is in the front of the low-pressure system, and the local area will rain as the low-pressure system moves in. When clouds move east, it means the low-pressure system has moved past the local area, and the local area is in the rear of the low-pressure system, indicating that the weather will turn sunny, often with a gust of wind before the weather turns sunny. "Where the cloud hook points, the wind comes from that direction": The cloud hook refers to the tail of the hook cloud, which appears at high altitudes and sometimes has a small hook at the top or is arranged in a line. The direction of the small hook at the top indicates the direction of the high-altitude wind, which is often connected to the ground, so the general direction of the cloud hook can be used to predict the wind direction. "If dark clouds cover the sky in the morning, there will be wind even if there is no rain": This refers to a situation where dark clouds cover the sun from the southeast in the morning, indicating that rain is coming. Because in the morning, warm and moist southeast winds blow, which are higher in temperature than the local air, forming a cold upper layer and a warm lower layer, making water vapor easy to rise and form clouds. In addition, with the ground heated by the sun during the day, air convection rises, which further promotes the rise of the cloud layers, and when water vapor meets cold air, it condenses into water droplets, possibly leading to a situation where the weather changes from wind to rain. "Yellow clouds flip up and down, ice pellets will fall soon": Yellow clouds are often caused by strong upward movement of warm and moist air, and this situation often leads to showers and hail. "When a mountain wears a hat, heavy rain is coming": Wearing a hat refers to low pressure, with a lot of water vapor forming cloud layers at the top of the mountain. Whether it will rain or not usually depends on the situation. If the clouds gradually lower and thicken, there is a high possibility of rain. Conversely, if the clouds gradually rise and thin out, the possibility of rain is low. "When clouds consume fog, fog consumes clouds and the sky clears up": Seeing fog followed by clouds may indicate the approach of a low-pressure system, which is a sign of rain. Conversely, if the clouds disperse and fog forms, it indicates that the low-pressure system has passed, and clear weather is about to arrive. "When the setting sun shines through the clouds, rain will fall within three days": This refers to the situation where the sun shines through the gaps in the clouds, known as "the sun's foot," and when it appears in the evening, it indicates strong convection, predicting rain. "If there is no cloud in the east at dawn, and there are clouds in the west, the sun will shine for a thousand miles": This refers to the situation where there are no clouds in the east and clouds in the west at dawn, with the sun shining on the clouds and scattering colorful light. This indicates that there is abundant water vapor in the air or a rainy system is moving in, and with the generally unstable air during the day, the weather will turn cloudy and rainy. If there is a sunset glow in the evening, it indicates that the west sky has cleared up, and with the generally weakened convection at night, the clouds that formed the sunset glow in the east will move eastward or dissipate, predicting clear weather. "If it has been sunny for a long time, a heavy fog will come; if it has been overcast for a long time, a heavy fog will clear up": This refers to the situation where a heavy fog appears after a long period of sunny weather, indicating that warm and moist air is moving in, making the air moist and a sign of cloudy and rainy weather. If a heavy fog appears after a long period of overcast weather, it indicates that the cloud layers in the sky are thinning, cracking, and dissipating, and with the ground temperature dropping, water vapor condenses into radiation fog. By sunrise, the fog will dissipate, and sunny weather will appear. "In the morning of the warm season, if there are castellated clouds at the horizon, it indicates that the moist layer at this altitude is very unstable. By noon, if the low-level convection develops, the unstable layers will combine to produce strong convection movements, forming cumulonimbus clouds and causing thunderstorms. Therefore, the saying "Early morning pagoda clouds, afternoon rain pouring down" is used. In addition, clouds that indicate weather forecasts often have certain continuity, seasonality, and locality during their evolution. When clouds in the sky move continuously from the distance in the order of cirrus, cirrostratus, altostratus, and stratocumulus, and gradually increase in number, decrease in altitude, and thicken, it indicates that heavy rain or cloudy weather will come soon. Conversely, if the clouds change from low to high, from thick to thin, from layered to scattered, there will not be heavy rain or cloudy weather. In the morning of the warm season, if there are isolated cloud blocks (feathery cumulus clouds) or fast-moving white fragments (scattered cumulus clouds) in the sky, it indicates that the weather will be sunny.
