Weather of Arabia - In ancient times, and in the absence of scientific development, modern monitoring interfaces, and computerized numerical models for weather forecasts, forecasting the weather for the next few days was an impossibility and a form of sorcery!

But our ancestors relied on many methods to determine the nature of the expected weather for the next few hours or the next day at the latest, and it is of great benefit to them as it benefits them during the travel between cities and in performing their daily needs, which were mostly about agriculture or tending herds of livestock. Some of these methods had practical accuracy and others had nothing to do with reality, and we will review with you some global and local evidence:

Globally:
1- It is customary in America, Britain and Ireland that when watching the sunrise in its red color, there are air disturbances on the road, but if it is the same color at sunset, then this is an excellent sign for the shepherds and sailors of the good weather.

2- When shouting loudly and for a large distance. The more clearly the sound is audible in winter and in light of the cold weather, the good weather will continue, but in summer and in the event of humidity, the situation is reflected in the weather forecast with a rise in temperatures.

3- Special for cow breeders in Europe and America: It is known to them that cows do not like their head facing the wind, so they turn to the most active air current their back! When the cows look east, the westerly wind will prevail and therefore good weather for the next day, but if the cows look west, the weather will be turbulent during the next few hours.

4- In the American agricultural state of Pennsylvania, the following proverb is famous: When the weather of March enters like a lion, i.e. windy and snowy, its end is like a lowly lamb i.e. stable, and in this case farmers expect a greater production of corn! In Wales, the belief in this proverb is also true, but in the month of April..

locally:

1- “If Bakker covers your stick and travels.. if you cover the night of your turn in an atomic cave,” here means fog. If fog approaches in the evening on winter days, a storm approaches the area, but if the fog is in the morning period, this indicates stability weather during the rest of the day.

2- “Al-Sharqiya Merak Al-Shta” means by this parable the expression that when the eastern winds blow over a specific area in the Levant, the rains will follow them during the next few days, meaning that they will move it in our direction. Follow this archive with us http://bit.ly/13hWhxa
