Weather Proverbs is a book written by Henry Harrison Chase Dunwoody and published in 1883. It is a collection of traditional sayings and proverbs related to weather and its forecasting. The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of weather, such as wind, rain, snow, and thunderstorms. Each chapter includes a selection of proverbs and sayings related to that particular aspect of weather. The proverbs and sayings in the book are drawn from a variety of cultures and regions, including Europe, North America, and Asia. Some of the proverbs are well-known, such as ""Red sky at night, sailor's delight; red sky in the morning, sailor's warning."" Others are more obscure, such as ""When the dew is on the grass, rain will never come to pass.""In addition to the proverbs and sayings, Weather Proverbs also includes explanations and interpretations of the various weather-related phenomena. For example, the book explains why a red sky at night might indicate good weather the next day, and why a halo around the moon might indicate rain or snow.Overall, Weather Proverbs is a fascinating look at the ways in which people have tried to predict the weather throughout history. It is an informative and entertaining read for anyone interested in weather, folklore, or cultural traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
