Let’s consider some famous folk signs about the weather according to the Moon. In the old days, great importance was attached to how the young Moon is located – horns up or horns down. It was believed that the recumbent Moon (that is, with its horns up) portends bad weather (“Molodiks hang with their belly down – on the board”); if in the first quarter the lunar crescent is in a standing position approaching vertical, or in an oblique position, then this portends dry weather; a lying month – to rain; “The young month has horns at midnight (up) – it will be cold in winter, and windy in summer.”

Folk omens on the moon and wind
The appearance of a young moon in windy weather was considered no less important. It promised snow or rain. Moreover, if the change of the month occurs with a northerly wind, the weather will be bad all month.
It also mattered from which side the young month appears: if the young month appears from the north side, it will be two weeks cold, and if from the south it will be warm; when the month is dry, it appears from the north.
For the full moon, it was decisive which side the wind was blowing from: a full moon with an easterly wind brings cold weather for a long time. The appearance of the month in the fog foreshadowed a long bad weather, and if the month was clearly visible – dry weather.
