When round the moon there is a brugh [halo], The weather will be cold and rough. - Scottish proverb

When the moon runs low, expect warm weather.

Clear Moon, Frost soon. -Scottish proverb

If the moon changes with the wind in the east, the weather during that moon will be foul.

If the sun or moon outshines the "brugh" (or halo), bad weather will not come.

It is unlucky to point at the new Moon or view any Moon over your shoulder.

Corn planted under a waning Moon grows slower but yields larger ears.

When round the moon there is a brugh [halo], The weather will be cold and rough. - Scottish proverb
