Newfoundland Weather



For generations Newfoundland fisherman have been able to predict the weather from watching things in nature!! Below you will find of the most common signs of good and bad weather which are long observed and religiously depended upon!!






A red sky at night is a sailors delight, A red sky in morning is a sailors warning.
Brillian Northern Lights foretell a fine day and then a storm.
When gulls fly high, stormy weather may be expected.
When goats come home from the hills, expect rain soon.
When distant hills appear near, rainy weather is coming.
When animals take on a thick coat of fur in autumn, it is a sign of severe winter.
When the wind shifts against the sun, trust it not for back 'twill run.
To dream of horses is a sign with sailormen that storms will come.
When cats are very playful,they are said to "gale up the weather."
