A great nut year is a great bastard year
It is said that when there is a bumper crop of walnuts in a given year,
that the following year will have a larger number of bastards.
So, just to be safe, if you see lots of walnuts hanging in a tree,
you might want to lock up your daughters!
When April blows his horn, 'tis good for hay and corn
(horn = thunder)
A wet May brings a good load of hay
(Plenty of sun in June)
If leaves wither on their branches in late autumn,
instead of beginning to fall in October as normal,
an extra cold winter is due.
A large number of foggy days in October indicates a hard winter
A cold November signifies a mild winter

A green Christmas (like a warm May) means a fat churchyard
This seems to be based on fact.
Dew in the night, the day will be bright
(If you ever get up on a summer morning and the lawn is dry, it is an ominous sign!)
(It does seem that a warm May makes extra work for florists, undertakers and crematorium attendants.)
