How to determine the direction on the grassland in rainy days?

Look at the sky:

As the saying goes, "clouds are a sign of the weather". Clouds appearing in the west, if far and near, from less to more, from low to low, from thin to thick, indicate that the weather will turn from sunny to rainy. In the warm season morning, if there are flat, abrupt and isolated clouds in the sky, which are commonly known as "steamed bread clouds" (light cumulus clouds) or white cumulus clouds with fast moving speed, the weather is fine. If there are cotton-wool clouds in the sky in the morning, the weather is likely to get worse and develop into thunderstorms or stormy days. When you see a hooked cloud moving from the horizon, it means that it is going to rain. This is the so-called "hooked cloud rain". Fish-scale clouds or clouds thicken and intersect, and the sun's disk shows a carmine color at sunset, which indicates that bad weather is about to happen. If it rains before 7 am, it may stop before 1 1.

Seeing the clouds in the northwest crack in rainy days, commonly known as "opening the sky", indicates that the weather will improve. The top of Yungai Mountain is commonly known as "wearing a hat on the mountain". Clouds around the mountainside are called "clouds around the waist". The former is rainy and the latter is sunny.

For example: "don't go out in the morning, travel thousands of miles in the evening"; "East rainbow sunrise, west rainbow rain"; "The frost (dew, fog) has cleared up again"; "people are yellow and sick, and the sky is yellow and windy"; "Thunder resounded through the sky and it rained cats and dogs; Thunder rumbled at the zenith and it rained. "

◆ Look at spiders:

On a sunny afternoon, if spiders make many webs, it will rain for the next day or two. If the net is solid, the wind and rain will be bigger, otherwise, it will be smaller. Netting after rain means it will clear up.

◆ Look at the earthworm:

If earthworms crawl out of the ground in spring and summer, heavy rain often comes.

◆ Ornamental fish:

In the summer evening, if there is a "diving" phenomenon in the fish pond, it indicates that there will be a thunderstorm.

◆ Look at the frog:

Before the weather turned to rain, the humidity in the air was high, the frog's skin was moist, the frog croaked little and the frequency was low. When the storm comes, we can't hear frogs. But on sunny days, frogs will bark loudly.

◆ Look at chickens and ducks:

Chickens return to their nests early, and the next day is usually sunny. On the contrary, if you enter the cage when it is getting dark, the weather will get worse. Ducks and chickens behave in the opposite way. Ducks are animals in love the water, and the early arrival of ducks in cages means that the weather will turn bad. On the contrary, the next day will be sunny. Lead: Spring, summer, autumn and winter, rain, rain and snow, the weather is changeable and the weather is myriad. Weather is closely related to human life. The change of weather has its own signs. Now, please look at the sky, at the clouds, at the words of nature, and at the "signboard" of the weather. How to interpret it?

The clouds in the sky are really varied and changeable. Some are like feathers, floating gently in the air; Some are like fish scales, neatly arranged one by one; Some come and go like sheep; Some are like a big quilt, covering the sky tightly; Others are like mountains, rivers, lions and galloping horses ... sometimes they decorate the sky beautifully, and sometimes they cast a shadow over it. Just now, it was white clouds and the sun was shining; In a blink of an eye, it was cloudy and it rained cats and dogs. Clouds are like the "signboard" of weather: what kind of weather will appear when there are clouds hanging in the sky.

Experience tells us that thin clouds in the sky are often a symbol of sunny weather; Those low and thick clouds are usually signs of rain and snow.

The lightest and tallest clouds are called cirrus clouds. This kind of cloud is very thin, through which sunlight can shine on the ground, and the light and shadow of houses and trees are still very clear. Cirrus clouds are constantly floating, sometimes like a white feather, sometimes like a white silk thread. If cirrus clouds are arranged in a row in the air, like fish scale waves caused by a breeze blowing over the water, it becomes cirrus clouds. Cirrus clouds and cirrocumulus are very high, where there is little water, which generally does not bring rain and snow. There is also a kind of white clouds like cotton balls, called cumulus clouds. They are often scattered in the sky about two kilometers, reflecting the bright sunshine, and the clouds are surrounded by golden brilliance. Cumulus clouds appear in the morning, most in the afternoon, and gradually dissipate in the evening. On sunny days, we occasionally see a kind of cumulus. Altocumulus clouds are groups of oblate clouds, which are arranged in a balanced way, with a blue sky in the middle, which looks like snow-white sheep on the grassland from a distance. Cirrus, cirrocumulus, Cumulus and Cumulus are all beautiful.

When the continuous rain and snow came, cirrus clouds were gathering, and a thin layer of clouds gradually appeared in the sky, as if covered with a white silk curtain. This cloud is called cirrostratus. Cirrostratus is advancing slowly, and the weather will turn cloudy. Then, the clouds are getting lower and thicker. Looking at the sun or the moon through the clouds is like a layer of frosted glass. At this point, the scroll tower has been renamed. It's time to call it a high-level cloud. There are high clouds, and it often rains or snows within a few hours. Finally, the clouds are getting lower and thicker, the sun and the moon are hidden, and the sky is covered with dark gray clouds. This cloud is called nimbostratus. As soon as nimbostratus was formed, continuous rain and snow came.

In summer, before a thunderstorm, cumulus clouds are first seen in the sky. Cumulonimbus clouds become cumulonimbus clouds if they swell up quickly to form tall Yunshan, and the peaks compete with each other and go straight to the zenith. The cumulonimbus cloud grows higher and higher, the cloud bottom gradually turns black, and the Yunfeng gradually blurs. Soon, the whole Yunshan collapsed and dark clouds covered the sky. In an instant, thunder rumbles, lightning flashes and thunders, and it will rain cats and dogs immediately, sometimes bringing hail or tornadoes.

We can also infer the weather from the brilliant phenomena on the clouds. Around the sun and the moon, sometimes beautiful colored apertures appear, the inner layer is red and the outer layer is purple. This aperture is called halo. Solar and lunar halos often appear on the cirrostratus, and the high-rise clouds behind cirrostratus and nimbostratus are signs of heavy rain. So there is a saying that the sun is dizzy in the middle of the night and the moon is dizzy at noon. When cirrostratus is accompanied by dizziness, the weather will get worse. There is also a colored halo smaller than the halo, called "Hua". The arrangement of colors is purple and red, just the opposite of halo. Rihua and Yuehua are mostly produced at the edge of cumulus clouds. From small to large in central China, the weather tends to be fine. The central region of China is getting smaller from big to small, and the weather may turn rainy. In summer, after the rain clears, a colorful arc is often hung on the cloud curtain opposite the sun. This is a rainbow. People often say: "The east rainbow thunders and the west rainbow rains." If the rainbow is in the east, it will thunder and not rain; The rainbow is in the west and there will be heavy rain. There is also a cloud color, which often appears in the early morning or evening. The sun shone all over the sky and dyed the clouds red. This cloud is called Xia Xia. The morning glow is in the west, indicating that rainy weather is attacking us; The sunset glow in the east means that the weather has been fine in recent days. Therefore, there is a proverb "Don't go out at sunrise, but go to Wan Li Road at sunset".
