Weather Lore Volume II: A Collection of Proverbs, Sayings and Rules Concerning the Weather – Sun, Moon and Stars & The Elements: Sky, Air, Sound, Heat - Hardcover
Synopsis
- A year-round topical subject, through our daily lives, or the larger topics of climate change
- Focus on UK lore, but also includes sayings and lore from countries all over the world
From earliest times, hunters, shepherds, sailors, and tillers of the earth have studied the influence of the Sun, Moon and the Stars on the weather.
Accurate weather predictions have always been an important human ambition and one that for some could ensure their success or failure. The result has been the framing of a rough set of rules about the weather. Some of these observations have become proverbs; others have taken the shape of rhymes; while many have been passed down by word of mouth, as mere records of facts.
