Proverbs about the weather in Britain

Friend P talked about one of the pleasures of living in the country in summer when I was a child, enjoying the cool under the willow tree, looking up at the clouds in the sky and imagining myself sitting in the clouds and traveling in space.

He said it might be because of the influence of Journey to the West. He still remembers that farmers also pay attention to the change of clouds, because it is related to sunny days and rainy days. He once saw an English proverb: There is a red cloud in the east, and it will rain the next day. I think it's the experience of British farmers watching clouds and measuring sunny and rainy days.

He said that there is a saying in the countryside that "people will die tomorrow if there is no fire", and the red clouds in the west of dusk are a sign of the hot weather the next day. He said that the close relationship between clouds and weather is often used to compare life experiences in proverbs. For example, calm weather after clouds comes from calm weather after storms, which is also called sunny weather after dark clouds, which is what we call "rain clears up", meaning that the situation has changed from bad to better.

However, there is another saying in the western proverb: all clouds do not bring storms (also known as no rain), even if the clouds are overcast, it will not necessarily rain. This proverb is often used to remind us that the development of the world is not necessarily as predicted. If the situation is not good, it is not necessarily bad.

The boss lost his temper with his buddy, and someone comforted him and said, don't worry. All clouds will not bring storms! The boss is angry and won't fire! Friend p said that it is difficult to predict whether it will be sunny or rainy, and no one can tell what tomorrow will be like, but remember: clouds are clearing away and calm.

It rains before seven o'clock and clears up before eleven o'clock.

It rains before seven o'clock: it will be fine before eleven o'clock.
