_Weather Rules._--The interesting article on "The Shepherd of Banbury's
Weather Rules" (Vol. vii., p. 373.) has reminded me of two _sayings_ I
heard in Worcestershire a few months back, and upon which my informant
placed the greatest reliance. The first is, "If the moon changes on a
Sunday, there will be a flood before the month is out." My authority
asserted that through a number of years he has never known this fail. The
month in which the change on a Sunday has occurred has been fine until the
last day, when the flood came. The other saying is, "Look at the
weathercock on St. Thomas's day at twelve o'clock, and see which way the
wind is, and there it will stick for the next quarter," that is, three
months. Can any of your readers confirm the above, and add any similar
"weather rules?"
