Sayings about time

From time immemorial, human beings have always observed the sky to know what the weather will be like that dayIt has even helped him to intuit how the weather will behave during that season. Although we currently have quite effective prediction models, the truth is that above all farmers have not left behind this old and healthy habit of looking up.

The success in the cultivation of horticultural plants depends on the atmosphere being more or less stable, since otherwise the whole harvest would be spoiled. A drastic drop in temperatures or an unexpected torrential rain can wipe out a year's work. But Keeping track of time is not only important for the garden, but also for other aspects of our life.

So much so that, in recent centuries, since the arrival of Christianity, different phenomena began to be associated with the days of the saints. So little by little everyone could tell what the weather will be just by listening to them: the people who lived and worked in the fields, taking care of their vegetables and fruit trees, but also of the animals. In this way, necessary measures could be taken to avoid disasters.

With the constant observation of the different reactions to the different conditions that the same place has with the passage of the weeks and, especially, of the months of the living beings that reside in it, it has been possible to group a series of phrases that have become, something like, the weather report of the common people.

It is true that the vast majority of people now live in cities, far from the rural world, but the truth is that those phrases, now converted into meteorological sayings that every amateur or enthusiast of meteorology must know, are words that keep echoing in the minds of many people.

We can have many sophisticated systems to predict the weather, and probably in the future meteorologists will be able to make much more accurate predictions, but the sayings will still be there. As part of an era in which humanity did not have computers, but wanted to know what the weather was going to do.
