The signs of a healthy pregnancy are winds, rain, lightning, roar of thunder and the appearance of clouds at the time of conception; in such a case the subsequent rainfall will be abundant; but if the rainfall should be excessive at the time of conception, there will only be a poor drizzling shower during the rainy season.
