Why do we say it's "raining cats and dogs"? Ancient weather lore linked fierce storms to Odin's wild hounds, while cats were long associated with rain and witches' stormy flights.
Together, these old beliefs may have inspired the curious saying. 🐩

Ab-ha, so after the #IceSaints Mamertus, Pancras of Rome, Servatius of Tongeren and Boniface of Tarsus have made it chilly from 11 to 14 May, abetted today by Sophia of Rome (15 May), the #weather can warm up again? #IcySaints #WeatherLore

After a chilly spell across much of the UK this week, all signs show that it will turn increasingly warm next week, potentially very warm for the bank holiday weekend.

Meteorologist Alex Burkill takes us through when the change is set to occur and how warm it could get.

Bubbles raced the river running the base of the curb to the sewer drain waterfall. In that rampage on this morning's walk, B saw abandoned wood boats, D saw umbrella bumper cars. I saw 24 more hours of rain. #weatherlore Bubbles in the puddles, myth or forecast?

It's time for #WeatherloreWednesday. This one relates to one of our favourite subjects- cats! Have you ever heard this saying?

#Archives #Weatherlore
Weatherlore Wednesday: An old saying which was handed down through the years- when a cat washed its face, the number of times she put her paw on her face before going behind her ear indicated the number of days before rain.

In Scotland, Beira is the Queen of Winter. With one eye, blue skin & copper-coloured teeth, she carries a hammer, which she uses to shape Scotland's hills & valleys.

Like her Irish counterpart, Cailleach, she fights to hold back the tide of Spring.

@LifeIsGoodMom What a view, Janell! You know the old saying, "Red sky in morning, sailors take warning." Those beautiful clouds could be the leading edge of the rain system we're tracking for your area today. Thanks for the awesome report from the ground! #WeatherLore #tnwx - https://x.com/Offici...

A popular Irish custom, carried out to this day, is leaving a Child of Prague statue outdoors under a bush the night before a wedding to ensure good weather

If the statue's head breaks off it heightens the odds of sunny weather! 💫🔆
