But if we read correctly the signs(迹象) around us we can tell what the more changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like the following day or two is called weather forecasting. For many centuries and in all countries people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Sometimes distant(遥远的) objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near. This is a sign of much water vapor(水蒸汽) in the air and therefore rain will probably come. Rings round the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather. Their joints(骨头节)ache. Some birds fly high as fine weather is coming but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably because the insects that they are hunting fly low. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows always come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just about sunrise, then the day will be warm. Instead, if a fog appears in the evening, the next day will be wet weather. If the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come. Most of the above sayings have been made by people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting. 1.
