Besides ants, what other animals around us can predict the weather?

In our life, many animals can predict the weather, such as frogs, swallows, dragonflies, fish, bees and so on. These small animals will have different reactions before it rains, so many weather proverbs about animals have been formed. Let's look at the signs of frogs, swallows and fish before it rains.

Frog Frog is called a living barometer in the animal kingdom. We know that many farmers have seen many frogs. If they climb from the water to the land, they should be prepared for rain. This is because the frog's skin has great characteristics. When the air is dry, the water in the frog's skin evaporates quickly, so the frog must be soaked in water to moisten the skin. When it is about to rain, the air humidity increases, so frogs don't need to stay in the water all the time. They will jump out of the water without restraint. So farmers will judge whether it will rain according to the habits of frogs.

Swallow We should learn a famous animal proverb from an early age. It's called. Will it rain when swallows fly low? . This also shows that swallows are also a common small animal that can predict the weather. The principle is that when the weather changes and it is about to rain, the humidity of the air will increase greatly, and the wings of those small insects will soften with the water droplets, so they can't fly high. Swallows will fly very low in order to catch these small insects for food. So most people think it will rain when they see swallows flying low.

Third, fish The third kind of fish that can predict the weather is an ordinary fish. We may have heard a proverb called. The fish jumped out of the water, and the storm was coming? . When the sky is about to rain, the humidity in the air will increase and the air pressure will decrease, thus reducing the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water. Fish will feel particularly anoxic in the water and will jump out of the water or float to the upper layer of the water to take a deep breath. People knew it was going to rain as soon as they saw this phenomenon.

Besides, there are many small animals that can predict the weather, such as cats, dogs, chickens and so on. Readers, apart from the above, what other magical weather proverbs do you know? Welcome to share in the comments section.
