Animals have a tremendous ability to predict weather and natural phenomena before they happen, which they express in different behaviors.
There are many indications that support this theory, as cattle, for example, send an alarm for the arrival of cold days before cold waves.
This can be seen by cattle eating more feed than usual to gain extra weight that helps them keep their bodies warm before the temperatures drop, according to the “Arab Weather” website.
Animals infer the change of weather conditions in many ways, including the decrease in air pressure when hurricanes and storms approach, for example.
The change in atmospheric pressure associated with storms can cause dogs to bark continuously or go into hiding in an attempt to find shelter.
Instinctively, birds and bees begin to search for cover for their nests and hives, feeling the drop in atmospheric pressure just before storms.
Changes in the atmospheric pressure system prevent birds from fluttering, so as soon as they feel this they go to their nests.
And ancient traditions hold that birds are able to predict the weather, for example if crows fly in pairs, then the weather must be expected, but if the crow flies alone, this is a sign that the weather will get worse.
As for rain, it is the most predictable phenomenon for different animals. Cats sneezing a sign of the coming rain, as well as cattle and horses extending their necks in the air.
