It means that we could forecast the whether change through observation of the sky, the category of clouds, wind conditions and the change of the moon and light. We know that whether changes have a great influence on the field camp. We can not have a great wild life without an accurate grasp of the weather.

For example, it is believed that the next day will be a sunny day when you see sunset glow traveling thousands of miles at the twilight in a relatively stable climate conditions; there will be heavy rains when the sunset glow spreads out the whole sky. It will be a sunny day when you see pure white cirrus clouds with the appearance of horsetail shape changing into the dark. However, there will be heavy rains the day after tomorrow.

It also indicates a heavy rain after several hours when it appears dim and gloomy nimbostratus in the sky. What's more, it means that there will either be rain or a strong wind the next day when you could see halo around the moon or the sun.

Autumn is the season of the typhoon, especially in October. However, the temperature begins to fall in the mountains after the first ten days of October. It seems that the mountain also begins to prepare for the mountain. In addition, it becomes gradually shorter during the day with good weather.
