What is Weather Lore?
Weather lore began as a means of predicting weather long before advanced technological methods were available. People often relied on nature for upcoming weather events. Weather deals with atmospheric conditions during a particular time and place; whereas lore is a set of traditional beliefs, like folklore, that is passed down from one generation to the other. Weather lore combines environmental changes with old tales or sayings. While it is true that many of these tales may not have scientific basis, a number of them can and do accurately predict weather.
