What animal meteorologists are there in the world?

Cows and sheep are often compared. Cows can predict the weather, and sheep are no exception. Newton, a great scientist, once heard a shepherd say that it was going to rain. He was skeptical because it was unusually sunny. But within half an hour, it really rained heavily. Newton was surprised and asked for advice. Shepherds say that sheep are "hygrometers". If it likes to lie under the eaves, it will rain. If the sheep jump on the grass, it will be sunny.

Frogs are called "barometers" in the animal kingdom. When the air is dry, the frog's skin water evaporates quickly and naturally stays in the water (keeping the skin moist); Frogs will jump out of the water in wet and rainy seasons, including when the air humidity is high before rain. Because of this, as soon as African aborigines saw the tree frog climb from the water to the tree, they began to take some measures to prevent rain and moisture.

Sparrows are the "least precious" birds, but they are the "sensitive person" of weather changes. In winter, if sparrows are found foraging everywhere, flying nonstop, with weeds and seeds in their mouths when they enter the nest, it means sparrows are hoarding food, and it will snow in 3-5 days. In summer and autumn, the weather is sultry and the air is humid. Sparrows feel itchy and fly to shallow water to take a bath to dissipate heat, which will indicate rain in a day or two. If a large group of sparrows take a bath, it will rain heavily in the future, so the folk proverb says, "When sparrows take a bath, it will rain heavily and violently."

Spiders are also ugly little animals, but military strategists in history like to "watch cobwebs and measure the weather"! /kloc-in the summer of 0/940, Hitler made the "Eagle Plan", trying to bomb large British factories in foggy days. The tall chimneys protruding from the sea in foggy days were the targets of German bombing, and foggy days would be unfavorable for British aircraft to join forces. On August 15, the Germans began bombing, but it was on this day that the British learned from the local spider web-forming phenomenon that the weather would improve and the fog would disperse, so they prepared for the battle, and soon shot down most of the German bombers, and Hitler's "Eagle Plan" went bankrupt completely.

Artemisia annua (mainly Artemisia annua and Artemisia ordosica) is a drought-tolerant wild plant of Compositae, which is distributed all over China. If it is found that many tender buds are born at its roots in dry weather, it indicates that it will rain soon.

Ligustrum lucidum is an evergreen tree, and its leaves grow with autumn. If there is an abnormality in summer, there are only fallen leaves and few leaves (or long leaves), as if it is going to sleep in winter, it indicates that there will be rainy weather in autumn in the next 2-3 months, that is, as the saying goes: "Privet Ye Quan falls, and there will be showers in autumn."

Purple jasmine, also known as rouge flower, blooms in summer and has three colors: purple, red and white. It usually blooms the first night and withers the next morning. According to the time when the flowers wither, we can judge the weather of the day: if the flowers wither at first light, it means it is sunny that day; If the flowers wither later, it indicates that it will rain that day.

* * "When ants get in the way, heavy rain will come. When ants move, it will rain heavily. "

Before the rain, there was more water in the air, and the ant nest became wet, which made the ants unable to live peacefully and leave the ant nest.

* * "Dragonflies fly low, there is no wind in the rain.

Before the rain, the air pressure was low, and insects mostly floated at low altitude. Dragonflies often fly in the air two or three meters above the ground in order to feed, which is a sign of impending rain.

* * "The spider web is well woven, but the web is cloudy".

After the rain, the air pressure increases and the humidity decreases. Spiders open their nets to catch insects. Spiders don't weave webs in stormy weather. Therefore, it is possible to predict sunny and cloudy weather by spider web-building and web-building.

* * "Earthworms crawling on the road, the rain is messy. The mole sings and the weather is fine. "

Earthworms like to dig holes in places with low humidity and loose soil, such as digging activities, which shows that there is more water vapor in the air and low air pressure, which is a sign of heavy rain. Lilacs (also known as dragonflies) also make holes in the soil and sing at dusk in summer. The mole's voice shows that there is not much water vapor in the air, which is a sign of sunny days.

* * "Worm corridor, signs of rain. Toad croak, rain is coming. "

Snakes are often called worms. The snake gallery shows that the humidity in the air increases, the air pressure is low, and the water vapor in the cave is not easy to diffuse and evaporate, so it is sultry and the snake has difficulty breathing. When it comes out of the hole, it can breathe, and it will rain soon. Toads are amphibians. Before the rain, the air pressure was low and there was a lot of water vapor. Frogs cry when they feel that they can't breathe well. Before the thunderstorm, toad called it this way: his voice was not loud, intermittent, big and small, and his voice was hoarse.

* * "Crows sing late, and the wind and rain are not far away."

The crow's head is always against the wind. At night, crows fly around in the sky and croak, indicating that the wind direction in the sky is uncertain, which is a sign of wind and rain in the sky.

* * "The old cow looked up and sniffed the sky. It was raining. The horse's mouth is facing the sky and the rain is ahead. "

When the weather is about to rain, the water vapor in the air increases and the air pressure is low, so it is difficult for livestock bodies to dissipate heat, and sometimes there is a phenomenon of opening their mouths to dissipate heat from the sky.

* * "Joint pain, no rain, no wind. It itches in the morning and the wind blows at night. "

Meteorological factors such as temperature, air pressure and humidity will change greatly before the coming of strong wind and heavy rain. Older people or people with physical injuries are particularly sensitive, and the physical reaction is fatigue or joint pain and itchy scars. This is a manifestation of human activities affected by weather changes.

* * "ring, the wind blows".

Comb your hair with a wooden comb, and sometimes it will giggle. This is because the air is dry and the wooden comb rubs your hair to generate static electricity. This kind of situation often happens when strong winds come in spring and autumn. The dry air comes from the northwest of our country, and there is often strong wind in front of it.

Willow in summer, willow leaves droop and sway with the wind, which is a kind of scenery; But if the willow leaves turn white, it indicates that rainy weather is coming. In fact, if you look closely, you will find that it is not that the willow leaves turn white, but that they will all turn over before the rainy day. The reverse side of the willow leaves is light green and there is a layer of "white frost" on the surface. Interested parties may wish to observe and verify it before and after the summer and autumn rainy season.
