Key Survival Skills
Reading Weather
Before smartphones, people observed nature. These skills remain valuable.
Cloud Observation
Cirrus clouds (wispy) high in the sky often indicate weather change within 24-48 hours. Cumulonimbus clouds can signal storms.
Red Sky
Red sky at night - good weather ahead. Red sky in the morning - possible rain. This old saying has scientific basis related to front movement direction.
Pressure Changes
Falling pressure often indicates worsening weather. Rising - improvement. A simple barometer or observing animal behavior can help.
