Folklore Guide to the Weather - David Bowen
Clouds . . .
Small and white, like fleeces
If woolly fleeces spread the heavenly way,
Be sure no rain disturbs the summer day.
Large, cliff-like
When mountains and cliffs in the clouds appear,
Some sudden and violent showers are near.
According to colour and outline
Light, delicate, quiet tints or colours, with soft, undefined forms of clouds, indicate and accompany fine weather; but unusual or gaudy hues, with hard, definitely outlined clouds, foretell rain, and probably strong wind.
Capping hills
When mountains and hills appear capped by clouds that hang about and embrace them, storms are imminent.
Bank in West
A bench (or bank) of clouds in the west means rain.
Stationary, Piling up
When clouds are stationary and others accumulate by them, but the first remain still; it is a sign of a storm.
Settling
