How to predict the weather without the weather forecast?

Before the technology of weather forecast was perfected, people always relied on simple observation, object patterns and folklore to try to prevent all kinds of bad weather for a long time. Once you practice these methods, the weather forecast will be quite reliable.

1. Observe the cloud. By observing the types of clouds in the sky and the direction in which they move, we can identify many kinds of coming weather. Generally speaking, white clouds and high clouds indicate sunny days, while dark clouds mean rain or a storm is coming.

Cumulonimbus clouds that appear early in the sky and spread all day indicate that bad weather is likely to come.

Milky cumulus clouds (formed by sinking air) can cause severe or widespread thunderstorms.

Cirrus clouds or "ponytail clouds" hang high in the air like long streamers, which means there will be bad weather within 36 hours.

Cumulus clouds like mackerel scales also indicate that bad weather will come within 36 hours.

Cumulus clouds and ponytail clouds sometimes appear at the same time. Every time, it rains the next day.

Cumulus Tower indicates that there may be showers later today.

When the rain clouds are dark and condensed in the air, rain is coming.

Clouds in winter nights indicate that the weather will get warmer, because clouds can block the heat radiation, which will lower the temperature on clear nights.

2. Observe whether there are rosy clouds in the sky. Remember a proverb: "Don't go out at sunrise, but go to Wan Li Road at sunset." Observe any signs of clouds (not red sun) in the sky; Many times, the sky will not always be obviously orange or red, depending on where you live.

If you see rosy clouds at sunset (when you look to the west), this is a high-pressure system formed by dry cold air, which makes the dust in the air active and makes the sky appear red. Because the general cold front movement and airflow weather are usually from west to east, dry cold air is coming towards you.

Clouds in the morning (where the sun rises in the east) mean that dry air has passed over you, and the low-pressure system that follows (moving towards you) carries water vapor.

3. See if there is a rainbow in the west. This is caused by the rising sunlight reflecting the water vapor in the west. Most storm fronts in the northern hemisphere move from west to east, and the rainbow in the west represents water vapor, which indicates that rain is coming. On the other hand, the rainbow that appears in the east in the evening shows that the rain has stopped, and you can expect the next fine weather. Remember: "You need to be on your guard when it rains towards the rainbow."

4. Stare at the moon. If it is reddish or pale, it means that there is dust in the air. But if the moon is bright and dazzling, it may be because low-pressure air makes dust settle, and low pressure means rain.

Lunar halo (formed when light shines on the cirrostratus associated with warm front and water vapor) indicates that it may rain in the next three days.

Remember the proverb: "There is long hair in the moon, and there is rain in the morning."

5. Feel the wind and air. If you can't detect the wind direction immediately, throw a piece of grass into the air and observe where it falls. If the wind blows from the east, it indicates the coming of the storm front; The west wind indicates a sunny day. Strong wind indicates high pressure difference, which can be regarded as a sign that a storm is coming.

6. Check the moisture. Many people can feel moisture, especially their hair (which curls up). You can also observe oak trees or maple leaves. Before the rainstorm, the humidity is often high, and these leaves are easy to curl.

When the humidity is high, the scales of pine cones meet and open in dry air.

In wet conditions, wood will give off a smell (pay attention to those sticky wooden doors), and salt will appear.
