What is the animal weather forecast?

Animals with the ability to predict the weather are spiders, frogs, ants, dragonflies and magpies.

1, spider

There is a saying in the countryside that "cobwebs must be sunny and cobwebs must be cloudy". Because when the rainy day is about to pass, the air pressure rises, the humidity decreases, insects fly high, and spiders begin to pull nets to catch them, which indicates that the weather will clear up. On the other hand, if the spider closes the net, it indicates that it will rain.

2. Frogs

In the animal kingdom, frogs are called "barometers". When the air is dry, frogs should stay in the water to keep their skin moist. If it rains, they should jump out of the water and hide on land. At present, some indigenous people in Africa still rely on observing tree frogs to judge whether there is rain. If a tree frog climbs a tree, it means rain.

Step 3: ants

When we were young, we all knew that it would rain heavily when ants moved. There is a saying in the countryside that "ants are swarming, and it will not be sunny tomorrow". Ants lined up and it rained heavily; Ants move, heavy rain rushes, ants run with eggs, and heavy rain comes.

4.dragonfly

Primary school textbooks have told us that "it's raining slowly." If dragonflies fly up and down in the air, especially on the water, there will be heavy rain in about 2 hours. That's because the air humidity is very high before it rains, and some mosquitoes move in the air close to the ground. Dragonflies and swallows naturally fly very low in order to prey.

5. Magpie

According to scholars' research, the nesting level of magpies is related to the rainfall throughout the year. As the saying goes: "Magpies build nests to attract phoenix, and the rain flooded that year"; In addition, as long as you hear magpies chirping happily in the branches, it must be a sunny day.
