An indoor flower that predicts rain. Summary of the lesson-conversation “Forecaster Flowers” ​​(using ICT). Which trees and shrubs are natural barometers

If today there are many diverse technical possibilities that allow us to learn about the weather for the future, then in ancient times nature itself helped people predict the weather. People observed the phenomena occurring around them, the properties of plants, the behavior of birds, insects, and deduced patterns. From such everyday observations of the weather, numerous folk signs grew:

If the oak leaves before the ash, the summer will be rainy and cool. If the ash tree blooms earlier, then the summer should be dry and warm.

Very abundant flowering of thistles is a sign of a beautiful and dry autumn.

Until the leaf from the cherry tree falls, winter will not come.

There are a lot of nuts and acorns, but few mushrooms - the winter will be snowy and harsh.

Since ancient times, people have known that many plants react quite sensitively to various atmospheric changes and watching them, they made appropriate conclusions about the upcoming weather. Even the famous Greeks and Romans Aristotle, Cato, Virgil and Pliny wrote about this relationship and outlined weather signs, based on observations of plant behavior, in an easy-to-remember poetic form.

To date, over 1000 are known various types animals and plants whose behavior can be used to predict the weather at a certain time. By the way, there are organisms that not only predict the weather, but can also influence it. Oxford scientists have proven that single-celled algae are capable of creating wind to rise into the sky and generate clouds, which serve as air transport for them to move around the globe. Fungal spores living in the clouds, in turn, can cause precipitation, with which they return to the ground.

Famous weather forecasting plants

"Crybabies"

Some deciduous trees, among which alder, willow, horse chestnut, with their “crying” notify us of rainy weather, sometimes three or even four days before the rain. Sometimes drops fall from willow leaves so often that the ground under the trees becomes wet. Apparently that’s why it is popularly called “weeping willow.”

Among indoor plants, he predicts the weather. Before the rain, the plant begins to “cry” - droplets of water appear at the ends of its round, leathery leaves.

Typical "crybabies" are native Indian broadleafs, growing in many front gardens and gardens. If transparent droplets of water appear on the wide leaves of plants in the morning, be sure to it will rain.

So why do plants “cry”? It's all about the evaporation of moisture that the roots absorb. High humidity air, which usually happens before rain, prevents evaporation - then the plant leaves, through special pores called water stomata, begin to release droplets of moisture.

Flowers are diviners

Flowers and fruits of many plants also help predict the weather for the near future. Observe, for example, the behavior of a dandelion. If its yellow flowers close in sunny weather, or if its fluffy ball of seeds closes like an umbrella, it will rain. And vice versa: open flowers and widely spread dandelion fluffs indicate that the weather will be clear and dry.

The thornweed is considered a reliable weather predictor. Its open flowers notify us of the upcoming sunny weather. If it's shining bright sun, and its petals do not open, it means it will rain soon.

Marigolds are known not only for their quality medicinal plant, they serve as a living barometer for us. When there is a strong increase in humidity, which usually happens before rain, their yellow-brown flowers close. Carpobrothus and mallow flowers have similar synoptic abilities.

Closed marigold flowers mean rain.

Spring flowers such as crocuses and tulips, which open their petals as the air warms, also help forecast the weather. These bulbous flowers are very sensitive to meteorological factors, because even with a minimal increase or decrease in air temperature, their flowers open and close.

Robinia or false locust predicts the weather for us differently: before the rain, it generously bestows insects with its honey-sweet aroma, the aroma of which can be heard hundreds of meters away. If bees, bumblebees and other insects hover over a tree, it means it will rain; if the buzzing stops, the weather will be clear.

Another example: the Saxons prefer to determine the weather for the second half of the year by rowan trees. They know that late flowering of rowan indicates a long and warm autumn.

Many people underestimate the benefits of chickweed

It is considered a malicious weed, which is quite difficult to control when it gets into the garden or garden. It’s a pity, because few people know how useful this plant is! Chickweed is an excellent barometer plant, by which you can recognize the weather for the near future. If before 9 o'clock in the morning the white corolla of the flower has not risen and opened, then it will rain during the day. And after the rain, the plant becomes as if crystal - thanks to the stems overflowing with water, shining in the sun. This is probably where its second name comes from - woodlice. In addition, chickweed very quickly fills free space, creating flowering carpets in flower beds or decorating large spots between trees. In this role, it protects the soil from erosion and drying out. In early spring it is suitable for preparing salads and dressings.

Geranium

Interestingly, changes in air humidity can be determined by looking at the geranium seed capsule. Insert the seed into the hole in the cardboard. When air humidity increases, which usually happens before rain, the tip of the awn will begin to turn clockwise; accordingly, when air humidity decreases, the tip of the awn will turn counterclockwise.

Fragrant weather forecasters

As you know, many plants announce upcoming rain with their rich aroma. For example, the aroma of fragrant bedstraw and Matrona noctule intensifies on the eve of warm and humid air. In this case, the birch tree also emits a strong spicy aroma; the smell is enhanced by white and yellow acacia, on whose flowers a mass of insects gather before the rain.

Warm, humid air enhances the scent of fragrant plants. Lilacs, peonies, fragrant roses and some types of clematis smell more intense before the rain. Their smell intensifies 2 to 8 hours before the rain begins.

Deciduous and coniferous oracles

The trifoliate leaves of wood sorrel are arranged vertically during the day, and hang down “in their sleep” at night. However, if the wood sorrel, which is also popularly called “hare cabbage,” drops its leaves during the day, you need to wait for rain. The forecast of this plant is so accurate that in ancient times people grew it indoors in flower pots and used it as a barometer.

For many residents of North Asia, spruce and juniper are still important weather predictors - long before the rain they lower their branches and raise them up before clear weather. Even dry branches have good weather sensitivity. Conduct an experiment, for example, with a used-up Christmas tree: take a small part of the tree trunk along with a branch approximately 30 cm long, clean it, apply a scale - and you have a spruce barometer ready! Attach the trunk to some support, leaving the branch free. The anchored branch begins to react to the weather, lowering the end of the branch before rain and lifting it up before clear weather. The amplitude of movement of the end of the branch depends on its length. With a branch length of 30 cm, the swing amplitude reaches 10 cm. After some time, when the branch shows its capabilities, you can mark “clear”, “variable”, “rain” on the scale, as on a regular barometer.

If scales fir cone open - there will be dry, sunny weather, closed scales - for rain.

Mullein

Mullein is sensitive to weather changes and sometimes capricious. On the eve of rain, the tip of its long spike-shaped inflorescence leans to the west. If it points to the east, the weather will be sunny.

However, this plant has much more talent than we expected. If in the first year after planting the plant develops a lush rosette with very densely planted lower leaves, this is a sign that the winter will be early, with heavy snowfalls. If the upper leaves, collected in a rosette, lie tightly to each other, snow will fall only at the beginning of the new year. That's why the Germans call this plant a "meteorological candle."

Where do we usually look when we are going for a walk or running errands? Right! To a thermometer or an Internet site that shows the weather. It turns out that many houseplants They are excellent weather forecasters and can tell you whether it will rain or whether it will be hot. You just need to learn to understand their “language”.

So, who are these green fortune tellers?

MONSTER DELICIOUS. This branching vine will unmistakably tell you whether it will be damp outside. If it is expected that the sky will be clouded and there will be rain or drizzle, droplets will collect on its leaves.

ROOM BANANA (Muza). Whenever increased air humidity is expected, a drop of dew forms at the tip of its young, unopened leaves.

ROOM ROSE. Before the rain begins, its flowers begin to smell more fragrant.

MARANTA. All kinds of this magnificent tropical plant respond to increased air humidity by producing moisture on the leaves.

HOYA IS FLESH. If droplets collect on its flowers, there is an unmistakable warning: it will rain. By the way, it tastes like sweet nectar. It is unknown whether it is edible.

BALSAM. If “tears” form on its leaves, it means sunny, clear weather.

CYPRESS. It begins to smell stronger when it is damp outside.

MIMOSA SHY. It shows not so much the weather as the time. By evening its leaves fold, and by morning they open.

Oxalis (oxalis). This representative of the flora with butterfly leaves behaves in the same way as the bashful mimosa. It is not only a green (or purple!) clock, but also a phyto-barometer: its petals also fold when rain is approaching.

ALOCASIA speaks not only about the weather, but also about poor care. Water forms on its leaves even before rain, and may indicate excessive watering.

TELOCACTUS (telocactus bicolor). On hot days, droplets of liquid form on its modified stem - usually at the base of the spines, at the top.

In ancient times, it was extremely important for a person to predict the weather in order to understand whether it was possible to go hunting and when to plant plants. For centuries, people have closely monitored nature. Thus, knowledge was accumulated about which plants predict the weather. And this wisdom was passed on from parents to children, and has survived to this day. Even weather forecasters would envy the weather predictions of our grandparents.

Plants do not predict the weather as brightly as when they hide an hour before a storm or worry before an earthquake. However, with proper observation, you can still notice the signs of plants.

• In the early morning, a plentiful amount of dew on the grass means a favorable day awaits. Dry - rain soon. And when dew forms in the evening and stays until the morning, the weather will be sunny for a long time.
• Loosestrife (common grass) and aloe vera (common) release moisture before the coming rain.
• Drupe straightens the leaves and covers the berries with them to protect them from bad weather.
  Sweet clover folds its leaves before a thunderstorm.
• If the chickweed does not straighten out after dawn, clouds and clouds can be expected.
  In wet weather, burdock softens and ceases to be tenacious. But with the arrival of warmth and dryness, it spreads out the hooks and becomes tough.
• folds the leaves before dry weather and, conversely, straightens them for rain.
  A blooming dandelion hides its yellow core and closes with a green rosette before bad weather. If you blow on a dandelion, you will see that the seeds are attached and are difficult to come off. Whereas in hot weather they easily fly apart.
• Buttercup and bindweed hide their flowers when the weather turns bad.
• Celandine, clover and meadow heart bow closer to the ground before rainy weather.
  “Crying” reeds - when they are covered with drops of water, it means that a storm and heavy rain are coming. In the old days, hunters, seeing this sign, immediately hurried home or to shelter.
• Thistle and sorrel are accurate predictors of the tone of the coming winter. If the first one grows predominantly in the fields, then the winter will be harsh and cold, if the second one will be mild, with thaws.

You can notice weather signs not only by the listed plants. In your personal garden you can find little helpers that can replace a weather station. There are other signs that man discovered by observing animals.

Worms crawl out towards the rain. There are a lot of cockchafers - it will be a hot summer. The nightly chirping of crickets predicts a clear day. Insects fly past open flowers - to clear weather. The dog lies in the snow - a blizzard is coming.

Man observed not only the “living” world, but also the various phenomena. Stuffiness foretells rain. If the snowdrifts begin to melt on the northern side, then the summer will be long and warm, on the southern side – short and cold. High clouds mean good weather. A pale moon and stars mean rain. There is a bright halo around the moon - a strong wind.

Signs and superstitions based on plant observations are varied and will help predict the weather not only for the next day, but also for the next month, season, or even suspect a dry or cold year.

Flowers have always been valued by humanity not only for their beauty, but also for their clear signals. Some flowers hide their buds, while other plants begin to change position and hug the ground.

• Roses close their buds tightly before the rain.
• Flowers smell brightest before the rain.
• Mallow hides its colorful petals 1-2 days before bad weather.
• Daisies and blue snowdrops (Scilla, Scylla) close up in the face of bad weather and bend towards the ground to protect themselves from the wind.
• Calla lily loves water, so before rain its leaves spread out and remain closed in dry weather.
• The water lily hides deeper in the water, warning of an impending downpour. In addition, the opening of lilies indicates the end of frost.
• Coltsfoot reports the strengthening of spring. As soon as yellow flowers cover the ground, folk wisdom says: spring has settled, and no longer intends to give in to winter.

Air temperature and humidity can be successfully assessed from plants.

1. Oak creaks before rain and hurricane. Also, if the oak tree is covered with acorns, a harsh winter should be expected.
2. Rosehip inflorescences do not open if bad weather is expected.
3. Acacia and honeysuckle smell brighter the closer the rain comes.
4. The leaves of willow and acorn are covered with drops before bad weather.
5. Spruce branches reach out to the sun, fall down before the rain and cling to the trunk before a snowstorm.
6. If a spruce raises its branches during a downpour, it means that the rain will soon end and the clouds will disperse.
7. Conifers actively secrete resin in the face of bad weather.
8. Before a thunderstorm or storm, pine trees emit a hum that can be heard by putting your ear to the tree.
9. are not limited to predicting only rain and frost.
10. Plants also warn about what the coming season will be like.
11. If autumn leaves are falling rapidly, then you need to expect severe frosts and a harsh winter soon. And if the leaf fall is delayed, then the winter will be good.
12. Abundant amounts of frost on tree branches predict a hot summer.
13. When tree branches bend from the weight of snow, spring will be rainy. In the old days, this sign was used to determine that the year would be well-fed with abundant harvests.
14. Late-blooming rowan announces clear and sunny autumn and an abundance of mushrooms. If there are a lot of berries, then expect rain and a harsh winter, but the summer will be pleasant.
15. The more berries and mushrooms in the forest, the colder and snowier the winter will be. Beliefs say that this is how nature takes care of animals that need to survive long frosts.
16. If the oak tree blooms before the ash tree in the spring, the weather will be dry and without rain. If it’s the other way around, it will rain.
17. The rowan tree gave white flowers, and the maple blossomed its leaves - this means the end of the morning frosts.

In the field of forecasts, predictions and weather forecasting, birch is worth special mention. There are many signs associated with this tree.

• If by autumn the birch foliage turns yellow from the bottom to the top of the tree, then you can count on spring being delayed.
• If the birch leaves do not fall and linger until the 15th-20th of October, then winter will be late for the fasting period.
• If the birch foliage falls immediately, then there will be a thaw in February.
• The more sap a birch tree produces in the spring, the rainier the summer ahead.
• When the birch tree blooms ahead of the maple or alder, the following months will be dry. Otherwise, you can safely expect many rainy days.

This is all just small part signals flora. There are countless signs both in the culture of our people and in any other. A considerable part of the signs can be explained with scientific point vision. Although, of course, there are thousands of superstitions that can only be called nonsense. Nevertheless, thanks to this knowledge, our grandfathers, great-grandfathers and their ancestors survived.

In nature, things rarely happen unexpectedly. Almost never. Rain lets you know its approach long before the first drops begin to fall. Winter announces plans to cover everything around with squeaky snow at the very beginning of autumn. Spring drops paint a clear forecast for the future harvest. The main thing is to be able to see these signs and read them correctly. And if nature has deprived us of meteorological sensitivity - in this sense, humanity is a little unlucky - turn to more attentive helpers. For example, to plants.

How different plants can predict weather changes

For any blade of grass, the issue of weather is of paramount importance. Its existence directly depends on whether it rains and how long the warmth lasts. Therefore, plants are a very accurate barometer. True, they do not make their observations known as clearly as, say, animals. But they can make their forecasts for many months in advance. And learning to read their “green” language costs nothing. It is enough just to be observant.

Predictive herbs and folk beliefs

Sweet clover loves sunny weather

• If the grass is thickly covered with dew in the morning, the day will be fine. The stems remain dry - it will rain. And if dew has been present since the evening and persists until dawn, sunny weather has firmly established itself.
• It is known that some grasses begin to release moisture before the rain begins; for example, weeping grass, arrowhead and telecut.
• Kostyanika straightens and stretches its leaves upward, as if trying to protect its bright berries from the weather.
• The sweet clover acts in a similar way - its leaves rise before a thunderstorm, folding around the stems, and in sunny weather they straighten out and “droop.”
• Woodlice or chickweed does the opposite. If the sun has long risen in the sky, and its stems are in no hurry to straighten, soon the horizon will be covered with clouds.
• When the burdock anticipates dampness, its thorns become less angry, as if softening, and almost do not cling to passers-by. But as soon as the plant feels the warmth of many days ahead, the hooks spread out in different directions, acquiring rigidity.
• Fern leaves curl downward in warm, dry weather and straighten out before rain.
• Sensing bad weather, a blooming dandelion quickly folds its yellow ball and wraps it in a green rosette. And if you try to blow away the white parachutes from a faded plant, you can feel how firmly they hold on to their legs. But in hot weather, the seeds scatter from any breeze.
• The delicate field bindweed and buttercup hide their flowers from the weather.
• Meadowheart, celandine and clover droop towards the ground, predicting rain.
• If the reeds “cry” - droplets of water appear on the leaves - experienced hunters They throw the gun on their shoulder and turn home: a real downpour is about to begin.
• Before rain, thistle prefers not to open its inflorescences at all. They often close tightly a day before expected precipitation.
• Sow thistle and sorrel produce quite accurate forecast on winter months . If the first one is born, you will have to freeze properly. If the latter is dominant in the meadows, the winter will be warm and generous with thaws.

Even in your garden you can find your own small weather station. For example, the white caps above carrots and potato flowers tend to the ground when it rains, and by the amount of husk on the bulb you can determine how severe the winter will be. The more layers, the stronger the frost will crackle.

How to tell the weather by the appearance of flowers

Lily flowers will not appear above the water until it becomes warm

• The beautiful rose carefully protects her petals from bad weather. Before the rain, its buds remain tightly closed.
• Mallow is even more capricious. Its bright flowers hide under the protection of green buds a day or two before bad weather.
• Marigolds, oxalis and violets hide from the rain.
• The flowers of the daisy and blue coppice-snowdrop slam shut before bad weather, and the plants themselves fall to the ground, bending the stem.
• But calendula, sourness and sedum don’t even think about hiding from the weather. On the contrary, on rainy nights the sedum cups do not close until dawn.
• The marsh whitefly also loves water. If the sun stays in the sky for a long time, its leaves fit tightly to the flower, and before bad weather they lower and straighten out.
• The water lily closes its buds and goes into the depths several hours before a heavy downpour.
• In addition to rain, this river beauty skillfully predicts heat or cold. If its flowers rose together from the depths and covered the surface of the reservoir, there is no longer any fear of frost.
• On land, the coltsfoot will tell about the coming warmth. As soon as the yellow shaggy specks of flowers here and there crawl out of the ground, folk beliefs They say: spring has firmly settled in your area and is no longer going to give in to winter.

Even the domestic monstera, which is from weather conditions depends little; it tends to “cry” in the summer before rains, and in the winter before a thaw.

Which trees and shrubs are natural barometers

The oak groans before the rain, and before harsh winter covered in acorns

• By appearance Rose hips can predict the approach of bad weather. If a thunderstorm approaches, the buds do not open.
• Honeysuckle and acacia begin to smell fragrant before the rain, quickly attracting insects. Small droplets of nectar appear in the cups of acacia flowers.
• Droplets of water appear on the leaves of willow and horse chestnut when bad weather approaches.
• The branches of fir trees stretch towards the sun, droop towards the rain, and bend towards the snowstorm. If the rain is pouring down and the prickly paws are sticking up, the weather will soon clear up.
• Fir cones close when the air becomes damp.
• When there is bad weather, on the bark coniferous trees droplets of resin are released in abundance.
• If you press your ear to the trunk of a pine tree before a big thunderstorm, you can hear a rumble - the pine tree “rings.”
• The oak tree creaks and groans before the hurricane.
• Larch needles seem to shrink before rain, and become wider in sunny weather.

Would you like to receive a forecast for the whole season? And this is not a problem, the Russian people have long figured out how to connect the behavior of this or that plant with weather changes.

• If a leaf from the trees flew together, frost will soon begin to crackle. And the leaf fall will drag on, the winter will pass from thaw to thaw.
• If there is a lot of frost on the trees, summer months will be hot.
• It’s good when the snow bends the branches with its weight; It's going to be a fruitful year. Everything is correct: a lot of snow in winter, a lot of water in spring, plenty of bread in autumn.
• The rowan blossomed late - autumn will be clear and sunny, and mushroom pickers will rejoice at the rich spoils. The tree gave big harvest berries? The rains will pour incessantly, and the winter will be severe. But in the summer the flax will grow ugly.
• There are many acorns on the oak tree - many cold days.
• It is known all over the world that a year fruitful for berries and mushrooms often foreshadows a cold and snowy winter . It is believed that this is how nature tries to take care of birds and animals that need to prepare a lot of food for future use.

There are many signs about the weather associated with the birch tree.

• If the birch leaves turn yellow first at the bottom, and then at the top, spring will be delayed on its way. The leaf will remain on the branch until mid-October, and winter will be late. And if everyone flies at once and in unison, expect a prolonged thaw in February.
• When the birch tree produces a lot of sap in the spring, the summer will be rainy.
• But if the white-trunked beauty blooms before the alder and maple, warm and dry months lie ahead. But when one of the named couple gets ahead of the birch, there will be rain and cold.
• The same competition is going on between oak and ash. The oak tree was the first to wake up in spring - the summer months are dry; ash - rainy.
• The maple leaves have blossomed, and the mountain ash is covered with clouds of small white flowers? Morning frosts will not happen again.
• If the aspen is completely covered with shaggy catkins, prepare your bins for a generous harvest of oats.

In former times, the time of sowing a particular garden crop was determined by the flowering of trees and shrubs in the spring:

• The bird cherry tree has blossomed, it’s time to go out into the garden - the bird cherry cold will come. However, in middle lane In Russia, this time is considered successful for planting potatoes.
• The rowan tree has bloomed - prepare cucumbers and tomatoes.
• Aspen hurries gardeners to sow carrots.
• Catkins have appeared on the oak tree - it’s time for peas.
• Blooming juniper marks the time of sowing barley.
• When the ground is thickly covered with grass, buckwheat is sown.

Signs associated with plants in other countries of the world

• In Japan, the nature of the coming winter is determined by the growth of wheat: the higher it is, the less snow will fall.
• Germany and France are expecting a mushroom harvest. There are a lot of mushrooms - the snowdrifts will lie high.
• In Germany there is also such a sign with dark humor: if the cherries are red, the asparagus is dead. That is, the season of this crop is over and it no longer has a place in the garden.
• The British calculate the approach of a storm by the leaves on the trees. If they turn over under the pressure of the wind, there will be a storm. If they just hesitate, the bad weather will quickly subside.
• Waiting for spring, the Belgians and Germans talk poetically: “Christmas in the snow - Easter in clover; Christmas in green - Easter to be white."

If you are a keen gardener, then you yourself have probably noticed more than once which plants’ behavior promises a change in the weather. If not, still, take note of the predictions of the green “weather stations”. Will it come in handy?

Only humans probably do not know how to sense weather changes. But plants - flowers, trees, shrubs, herbs - can. It’s good that people are observant, and not being able to independently determine weather changes, they learned to determine it by plants.
By looking at flowers and plants, you can determine the weather both for a few hours and for several months in advance. Let's start with short-term forecasts.

Adonis in spring.

If the tops of the plant's peduncles look to the side or are lowered down, then it means rain, but if they are adjacent to the petals, then it means good weather.

Hemlock stork.

If the awns are straightened, then there will be rain, and if the awns on the lobes of the box-shaped fruit of the hemlock stork in the lower part of the plant are twisted in a spiral, then this means good weather.

Acacia yellow and white.

Acacia will allow you to accurately determine the weather. If a drop of honey is visible in the center of the flower, the pistils move apart, the corollas are open, the flowers smell strongly - then this is before bad weather. If the flowers smell strongly on a sunny morning, there are a lot of different insects and bees above the bushes, then rain and thunderstorms will soon pass.

There are no bees above the flowering acacia bushes - this means good weather. If bees do not fly to the apiary during bad weather, but hide in acacia bushes, it means the weather will be good.

Meadow cornflower.

Determining the weather using cornflower is not at all difficult. If the flowers are closed so that their blue petals are not visible, it means rain. If they are open and nectar is released - good weather.

Oak anemone.

If the flowers do not bloom and the plant itself droops, it means rain. If the plant has open flowers, then it means good weather.

Field bindweed.

If the flowers of a plant close in the middle of the day or do not open in the morning, then it means rain. The flowers are open in the morning - for clear weather.

Calendula officinalis.

If the leaves droop and the flowers close in the middle of the day, it will rain in a few hours. If the flowers open closer to noon, then it means rain. If orange flowers are visible far away and from early morning The corollas of the flower are open - this means good weather.

Horse chestnut.

If droplets of sticky liquid flow from the leaves and petioles, then it will rain in 1-2 days.

Common sorrel.

If the flowers do not curl up at night, but bloom, and during the day the flowers droop and fold, then it’s a sign of rain. If the leaves are pressed against the stems, it is also due to rain. If the flowers are folded at night and the flowers are open during the day, this means good weather.

Clover.

If the plant shrinks, bends, brings its leaves closer together, its inflorescence droops - this happens before the rain. If the plant stands with straightened leaves and heads, then this means good weather.

The bell is spreading.

If the tops of the peduncles of the spreading bell are lowered down or look to the sides, then this means rain. If the flowers are far visible, the peduncles are straightened - good weather.

Drupes are stony.

If the amniotic leaves bend upward or straighten, then it will rain in 15-20 hours. If the narrow long leaves surrounding the fruits curl downward, then this means good weather.

White water lily.

The white water lily also helps determine the weather. If the flowers of a plant gather white petals together and are completely closed during the day or are half-closed, then rain is coming. If the flowers go under water and close, it means bad weather. If flowers do not appear from the water, then this is due to bad weather. long rains. If the flowers of the white water lily open at about 7-8 o’clock in the morning and close at 17-18 o’clock in the evening, this means clear weather in the near future.

Levkoi.

If the flowers begin to smell strongly, then after 15-20 minutes. it will rain.
If the aroma of gillyflower flowers is not felt at all, then the weather will be hot and there will be no rain.

Linden cordifolia.

If you can already smell honey far from the tree, then it means rain. If there are few insects on flowering trees, then this means dry weather.

Lyubka bifolia.

If the Lyubka flowers are closed at night, it means rain. If the flowers of the plant open after 7 pm and close at 2-3 am, and there are a lot of nocturnal insects on the flowers of Lyuba bifolia, then this means good weather.

Acrid buttercup, creeping buttercup and other buttercups.

If the plants droop and the flowers curl up, it will rain in a few hours. If the plants are straightened and the buttercup flowers are visible far away, then this means good weather.

Carrots.

If the inflorescence droops, then it means rain. If the inflorescence sticks up, then it means good weather.

Dandelion officinalis.

Who doesn't know dandelion! But it also helps determine how the weather will be. If the leaves droop and the inflorescences curl up, it will rain in a few hours. If the fluffy ball of the plant is almost invisible, shrunk, not a single flying seed, even with very strong wind does not rise into the air, then this happens before the rain. If the dandelion plants are yellow, bright, the inflorescences are far visible and open, then this means good weather. If dandelion seeds separate in a light wind, then this means good weather.

Sedum.

If the flowers of the plant do not curl up at night, then it will rain in the morning. If the flowers are open during the day and closed at night, then this means good weather.

Bracken fern.

If the leaves curl up or unwind, it means that it will rain soon. If the leaves are curled downward, then this is a sign of good weather.

The shot is open.

If there is a mass of insects above the lumbago and they land on the open flowers of the plant, then this means rain. If nectar is not released and in the evening insects fly past the open flowers, then this means good weather.

Meadow core.

If the flowers of the plant droop, then it means rain. If the purple and white flowers are clearly visible, it means good weather.

Common lilac.

If the flowers begin to smell very strongly, then in 15-20 minutes it will rain. If the smell of lilac is not felt next to the bush, then this means good weather.

Smolevka.

If butterflies fly past, the flowers are closed - it means rain. If the flowers are open at night and in the evening and emit a fragrance, and moths land on the flowers, then this sign indicates that the weather will be good.

Common gum.

If its flowers close during the day or are closed in the morning, then it means rain.
If the flowers are open and bees are landing on the flowers, then this is a sign of good weather.

Currant.

If you have currant bushes in your garden, they will be able to determine the weather for tomorrow. So, if there is a smell from the bushes, then in 15-20 hours it will rain. The currant flowers began to smell especially strongly, and there were a lot of bees above the currant bushes, then in 15 minutes it would start to rain. If the currant bushes have no smell, then this means hot weather.

Violet tricolor.

If the flowers of a plant close or are closed, the stem bends, the leaves droop, then this happens several hours before the rain.
If the plant is bright, it purple flowers open, then this means good weather.

Common chicory.
