This is a reading comprehension article, the translation is as follows:

Not only farmers, scientists have also studied weather forecasting. For centuries, people in various countries have studied weather and attempted to make weather forecasts. Sometimes, distant objects like hills or tall trees appear very close and clear. This is a sign that there is a lot of water vapor in the air, indicating that rain will come soon.

Wet and rainy weather is approaching when distant sounds (such as the noise of a train, the chirping of birds or people shouting) can be heard very clearly. The halo around the sun is a sign that heavy rain is coming.

Many people can feel the coming damp weather in their bones. Their joints hurt. Some birds will fly high when good weather is approaching and fly very close to the ground when rainy weather or storms are approaching. This may be because the insects they feed on are also flying low at this time. If you see a rainbow in rainy weather, it is a sign that the weather will soon turn sunny. Such rainbows often appear at night. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, the good weather will continue. If a fog develops in the early morning just before sunrise, the day will be warm. If the color of the sunset is mostly red, the weather will be good for the rest of the day. When a lot of cumulus clouds appear at sunset, bad weather will follow the next day.

If the cirrus clouds stay still, good weather will come. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather is likely to come. Most of these proverbs were uttered by people who predicted the weather with their own eyes and minds.
