Wearing a hat on a mountain with rain, and halfway up the mountain without rain, what does it mean?
“Wear a hat on a mountain when it rains, but halfway up a mountain when there is no rain” is a proverb about weather. It means that the clouds cover the top of the mountain, and the top of the mountain is like wearing a hat, which represents the weather. It's going to rain. Clouds surround the mountainside in the middle of the mountain, which represents a sunny day.
Refers to the positional relationship between mountains and clouds. It is going to rain. If there are clouds on the top of the mountain, like "wearing a hat", when the clouds cross the mountainside, it will not rain.
Scientific explanation: When the rain is about to come, because the clouds are dark and low, they often press on the top of the mountains to form a "mountain hat", so it is a precursor to the coming rain. Low clouds such as local stratus clouds are mostly formed due to nighttime radiation cooling. Low clouds such as stratus clouds on the mountainside are likely to be fog. Therefore, clouds reaching the waist of a mountain are generally a symbol of good weather.
