Which animals can predict the weather?

Animals that can predict the weather are spiders, frogs, bees, ants and swallows.

1, spider

On rainy days, if the air pressure increases and the humidity decreases, insects fly high and spiders open their nets to catch them, which indicates that the weather will clear up. On the contrary, the spider closes its net, which indicates that it will rain.

2. Frogs

In the animal kingdom, frogs are called "living barometer", which is caused by the characteristics of frog skin. When the air is dry, the evaporation of skin moisture is accelerated, so frogs must stay in the water to keep their skin moist; In the wet and rainy season, the skin moisture does not volatilize and jumps out of the water.

Therefore, frogs have become a "living barometer" for African aborigines to observe weather changes. As long as the locals see the tree frog climb from the water to the tree, they will be well defended.

3. bees

Before it rains, bees' wings are easily wetted by tiny water drops, which makes them gain weight and difficult to fly, so bees don't leave their nests.

4. ants

Ants came out of the hole in droves, which indicated that heavy rain was coming. As the saying goes, "ants are in droves, and tomorrow will not be sunny."

5.swallow

Since ancient times, there has been a folk proverb that "swallows fly low and heavy rain will come". The reason is that when it rains, the air humidity will increase, and many insects are not very low because of the air humidity. Swallows and insects fly low together to catch them, so swallows flying low means it's going to rain.
