Now any of us can easily find out the weather on TV or on the Internet. All information is issued on the basis of data processed by technical means, and we, of course, trust it. And what if you are far from a city where there are no means of communication or can you just want to be able to predict the weather yourself? For this, there are signs that give an opportunity to know what the weather is like for us. In this article, let's talk about the folk signs associated with smoke, which is a pillar or spreads.
What kind of weather does the smoke foreshadow?
You should pay attention to how the smoke comes from the chimney of the house or from the fire. If it goes straight up, and it's winter now, then expect severe frosts in the next few hours. If the smoke is a pillar in the summer, then you are lucky, this sign says that there will be clear and warm weather. On the smoke, going exactly up, it becomes clear to us that the weather is windless on the street and in the near future we will not receive precipitation in the form of snow or rain. At this time, people sensitive to changing pressure in the atmosphere feel much better.
What kind of weather should be expected when the smoke clears?
Also, village people have long ago seen what to expect if the smoke is spreading. When you notice it in the summer on a calm day, wait for bad weather, it will rain . In winter, if the smoke goes sideways, despite the fact that there is no wind, it means that a thaw will come. But when the smoke completely deviates downwards, wait for the snowfall.
Such "smoky phenomena" can be fully explained by the laws of physics, but this does not mean that the signs are not true. Quite the contrary, changes in air humidity confirm that the behavior of smoke correctly characterizes the changes in the weather in the near future. Before the wet weather, the humidity of the atmosphere layer rises, and the smoke begins to spread along the ground. In winter, before the frosts, the firewood burns very quickly. humidity is minimal, and smoke is a pillar. So now you can learn the weather not only from the TV screen, but also on knowledge will accept our ancestors.
The smoke that goes by the pillar, or prophesying, predicts not only what weather we should prepare for. There are other people's signs that you can use. For example, it is believed that there is a witch in that house, in which the smoke from the pipe goes against the wind. Her home immediately began to bypass the party, cautiously peering into the gloomy windows. In the Middle Ages, it was easy to disclose women who associated with sorcery spells.
