　　No man can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we 1 correctly the signs around us we can 2 what the more changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like the following day or two is called weather forecasting. For many centuries and in all countries people have 3 the weather and tried to 4 weather forecasting.

　　Sometimes 5 objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near. This is a 6 of much water vapor in the 7 and therefore rain will probably come.

　　Rings round the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel in their 8 the coming of wet weather. Their joints (关节) ache. Some birds fly 9 as fine weather is coming but they fly near the ground if 10 or stormy weather is 11 the way. It is probably because of the insects which they are hunting 12 they fly 13 .

　　If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such 14 always come in the evening. If the stars 15 clearly at night, then fair weather will 16 . If a fog appears in the morning just about sunrise, then the day will be warm. Instead, if a fog appears in the evening the next day will bring wet 17 .

　　If the sunset is mostly red in 18 , then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come. Most of the 19 sayings have been made by people who have used their 20 and brains to make weather forecasting.
