To know how the weather will be for the next one week, we have to wait for the update of the Meteorological Department. But there are many people who have neither mobile nor TV to know the updates of the Meteorological Department. But, they get to know how the monsoon is going to be this time. Is it surprising? Actually, our ancestors linked the things around them with the weather based on their experience. By looking at these things, he tells what the weather will be like.
Today we will know the same indigenous weather alarm. How the behavior of animals, the leaves of trees and the sounds of birds tell about the coming season. First of all, know the desi alarm of good monsoon…
Sparrows and frogs give signals before rain
Our forefathers considered sparrows and frogs to be good or bad signs of monsoon before monsoon. He believed that if the sparrow is playing in the soil, then understand that the coming monsoon will be full. Similarly, it is believed that if the frogs start croaking before the rain, then it is an auspicious sign for the monsoon. This happens shortly before it rains.
People rely on peacocks for better monsoon predictions. The elders believe that the peacock is continuously pecking in the fields or gardens. If the wings continue to spread, it simply means that there will be heavy rains within the next 4-6 days. Monsoon predictions of tribals also depend on chameleons. If he is starting a journey somewhere and sees a chameleon climbing a tree in front of him, he postpones the journey. They believe that it will rain heavily.
In the time of Akbar, Mahakavi Ghagh was one of those poets who used to tell how the monsoon would be by looking at the changes in trees and birds. Read four of his sayings in this graphic.
- The weather forecast of elders about these things is not necessarily correct every time, but it all rests on years of experience. So it is not easy to dismiss it at once.
Peepal-Mahua also tell that there will be heavy rain
Peepal is a religious tree. People have been going to this tree for years for worship. In summer, when the leaves of all the trees seem to be over, then it has new leaves. If these leaves are more, more green, then the people of the village tell that it is going to rain heavily this time. Similarly, it is estimated by looking at the Mahua tree. There is talk of less leaves-less rain, more leaves-more rain.
You must have heard the name of quail bird. It is even said that whether the sky is cloudy or not, if the quail is speaking, then understand that it will rain today itself. In rural areas, people get involved in arrangements to avoid rain. In the same way snake is also used as a monsoon indicator. If instead of walking on the ground, the snake starts sitting on the trees, then it is believed that it is going to rain in the coming time.
- So far you have come to know the signs that tell a better monsoon. Let us now know the signs which tell that this time there will be a monsoon crisis.
If the acacia tree is thick-bamboo leaves are green, then the sign is negative
Khijra is a species of acacia. It is denser than common acacia, but if it becomes more green, becomes so dense that the branches start touching the ground, then the elders believe that this time the monsoon will not be good. In the same way bamboo is considered. Bamboo remains completely dry in summer. But, if the bamboo looks green even in summer, then talk starts on the possibilities of drought.
Neem trees are there outside the houses in almost parts of UP. If it looks more green without rain, more Nimbolios are seen in it than required, then it is believed that this time the rain will be less. See here the proverbs that Ghagh-Bhaddri has said about less rain.
The crow’s cry at night and the jackal’s cry during the day is bad.
The crow usually calls only during the day. At night they go to their nests. But if they are crowing even at night, then understand that this time there is going to be drought. On the contrary, if a jackal cries during the day in the month of June, it is considered a bad omen. Elders believe that this is not a good sign for the coming monsoon.
- This was the indigenous alarm of the weather. Even today, elders trust these mediums more than the weather told on TV-mobile. Now let us tell you from a scientific point of view how the weather will be.
Dr. SN Sunil Pandey, Head of Department of Meteorology, CSA University, Kanpur, said that it will continue to rain continuously in UP.
