A red Sky in the Evening and a gray Morning, is a fair Day. Mists falling in the Morning in Spring or Harvest, also Mists over Ponds or Waters in the Morning, shew Rain. If Smoke ride swiftly in the Air, it is Wind from thence, especially from North to South. If Mists descend from Hills, and settle in the Valleys, it is fair hot Weather next day. If the Summer be moist, wet and cloudy, it is bad for Corn and Fruit, &c.
