Method of judging the weather

Nowadays, few people use traditional methods to judge the weather, because mobile phones are popular, and local weather forecasts can be found at any time, which is more accurate. If we must judge by traditional methods, there are also some sayings, such as "Look at the southeast in the morning and look at the northwest at night", saying that if there are dark clouds in the southeast in the morning and the weather is not very good, there will be no dark clouds in the northwest in the evening. You can also judge the weather by observing the moving direction of clouds. What is said is: the cloud goes east, the old man dies under the bridge, the cloud goes south, the road is good for punting, the cloud goes west, the road becomes a stream, and the road north can bask in the valley. These are proverbs to judge the weather in summer. You can also judge tomorrow's weather by the afternoon sun. If the sun sets, tomorrow will be fine. But these are traditional sayings, which are far less accurate than modern weather forecasts.
