No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the 　21　　 around us we can 　　22　 what the more changes in the weather will be. The way of telling what the weather will be like the following day is　　 23　 weather forecasting.

For many centuries and in all countries people have 　24　　 the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Sometimes distant objects 　　25　 hills and tall trees seem to be very clear　 26　 near.

Their joints ache. Some birds fly 　30　 as fine weather is coming but they fly near the ground if 　31　 　or stormy weather is　 32　 the way. It is probably because of the insects (昆虫) which they are hunting 　33　 they fly　 　34　 　.

If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign 　35　 the weather will become clear and fine. Such 　36　 always come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fair weather will 　37　 　. If a fog appears in the morning just about sunrise, then the day will be warm. Instead,　 38　 　a fog appears in the evening, the next day will bring wet weather. If the sunset is mostly red in 　39　 , then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.

Most of the 　40　 　sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.
