Weather Folk Lore & Anecdote
A simple short term forecasting trick.
In the northern hemisphere, if you stand with your back to the wind, the area of lower pressure will always be to your left.
If the clouds are moving directly away from you, the weather is likely to remain fairly unchanged in the short term.
If the clouds are moving left to right then the weather is likely to worsen. If, however, they are moving right to left then the weather is more likely to improve.
