Signs about rain - the magic of weather predictions. How to take photographs in rainy weather and how to shoot rain Folk signs about bubbles in puddles

Insufficient visibility is understood as a temporary position caused by weather or other phenomena (fog, rain, snowfall, blizzard, twilight, smoke, dust, splashes of water and dirt, blinding sun), when the distance at which the object in question can be distinguished from the background is less than 300 meters .

These weather have a significant impact on road safety.

During the rain

The main danger when driving in the rain is the deterioration of wheel adhesion to the road. The coefficient of adhesion on wet roads decreases by 1.5–2 times, which worsens the stability of the car, and most importantly, the braking distance increases sharply. Particularly dangerous are asphalt roads covered with mud or wet fallen leaves, when the grip of the tires on the road is further reduced.

Rain that has just begun is dangerous, making the road surface very slippery, as dust, tiny particles of tires, particles of soot and oil from car exhaust pipes are wetted and spread along the road, creating a very slippery film on it, like soap. At the beginning of the rain, you need to be especially careful, be sure to reduce your speed, avoid overtaking, sharp rotation of the steering wheel and sudden braking. As the rain gets heavier and continues, the dirty film is washed away by the rain and during prolonged rain the traction coefficient increases again. Concrete and asphalt pavements with a specially treated rough surface, washed by rain, have a coefficient of adhesion close to that of a dry pavement.

After the rain stops, as the mud dries, it first turns into a dirty, slippery film, and the coefficient of adhesion also decreases. Again, you need to be careful until the road dries. The dirt turns into dust and the traction coefficient is restored.

The dependence of the road friction coefficient on the duration of rain is shown in Fig. 1

Fig. 1. Dependence of the coefficient of road adhesion on the duration of rain:

• time t0 - t1 - the beginning of rain;
• time t1 - t2 - duration of rain;
• time t2 - t3 - drying time of the road.

When driving at high speed on a wet road, passenger cars experience the formation of a water wedge between the tires and the road - hydrosliding or so-called aquaplaning. When driving on a wet road at low speed, the wheels drive moisture into the grooves of the tire tread pattern and squeeze it through the roughness of the road surface; the tires touch the drier road surface. If you are driving behind a car in the rain, you will see a dry tire track right behind the car. At high speeds and a large amount of water on the road, the wheels do not have time to squeeze out the moisture, and then water remains under them, the wheels float above the road surface. A sign of a water wedge is sudden ease of steering wheel control. The shallow depth of the tread pattern, less than that indicated above, low air pressure in the tires and the smooth road surface of the asphalt road contribute to the occurrence of aquaplaning even at low speeds, since the wheel does not have time to squeeze out the water from under itself.

This phenomenon can only be combated by reducing the speed. In this situation, you should apply engine braking, i.e. gradually reduce pressure on the gas pedal. In this case, you should try not to use the service brakes, as water reduces their effectiveness.

Spray dirty water and liquid mud from under the wheels of oncoming and overtaking vehicles can instantly flood the windshield, and for some time you will not see anything ahead. Do not get lost in this situation and, most importantly, do not brake sharply, immediately turn on the washer and windshield wiper at high speed. Do not turn the steering wheel and gradually reduce pressure on the gas pedal. After a few seconds, visibility will be restored.

It is necessary to take into account that when you drive through puddles at high speed, the following troubles are possible:

• splash mud and even pour water on pedestrians from head to toe;
• water from under the wheels of your car will fall on the front window and reduce visibility;
• water will also get into the engine compartment, and even a few drops of water getting on the ignition coil, distributor or wires can stop the engine;
• water getting into the air intake can cause engine damage;
• there may be various dangers under water: holes, stones, etc.;
• The brake pads will get wet and the brakes may fail.
• If the wheels on one side of the car get into a puddle, the car may skid, since the amount of adhesion between the tires and the road on different sides will be different.

Rain changes the appearance of the road surface. Light and matte when dry, the asphalt concrete surface becomes dark and shiny, and it is very difficult to notice a dark obstacle on such a road. Driving in these conditions, even if there are no obstacles, is tiring. The driver gets the impression that he is rushing into a dark abyss, intersected by the sparkles of raindrops sparkling in the headlights.

On wet road surfaces, white road markings become almost invisible during the day and completely invisible at night. The driver’s responsibility is to increase caution during rain so much that it compensates for poor visibility, and drive the car smoothly, without sudden changes in direction, choose a speed that matches the visibility, you can also turn on the front and rear fog lights, and raise the side window all the way.

In foggy conditions

Driving a car in fog requires even more experience than in the rain. Sometimes the fog is so strong and creates such great danger that it is necessary to interrupt the trip and patiently wait for the weather to change. Fog creates dangerous road conditions. Dozens of cars are involved in an accident during fog, people are killed and injured. a large number of of people.

Fog greatly reduces the visibility area, contributes to optical illusion, and makes orientation difficult. It distorts the perception of vehicle speed and distance to objects. It seems to you that an object is far away (for example, the headlights of an oncoming car), but in fact it is close. The speed of the car seems small to you, but in fact it is moving quickly. Fog distorts the color of an object other than red. Therefore, the traffic light is red so that it is clearly visible in any weather, which is why red cars are considered less dangerous.

Fog affects the human psyche: poor visibility, constant tension, the sudden appearance of another vehicle from the fog, which seemed to be far away, cause severe nervous tension in the driver. He is nervous and makes incorrect actions while driving. The eyes quickly become tired and reduce the driver's ability to react to changes in the road situation. The headlights do not illuminate the road at all; their light only cuts into the fog in bright, blinding beams. In the fog, you can make a mistake in choosing a road, landmarks are obscured by fog, and intersections are not visible.

In the fog you should:

• reduce your speed; it should not exceed half the visibility distance in meters. So, with visibility of 20 m, it should be no more than 10 km/h;
• be prepared to stop within sight of the road;
• you should drive with low beam headlights, which illuminate the road better than high beams;
• when driving with high beam pass oncoming traffic without switching to the front one, since blinding in the fog is excluded;
• If you have fog lights, in heavy fog, turn them on together with the low beam. They have a low and wide beam of light yellow color, which penetrates fog better than the white light of conventional headlights;
• if road visibility is less than 50 m, they can turn on independently;
• turn on the rear fog lights together with the side lights;
• turn on the windshield wipers;
• when the windows fog up, turn on the interior heating and ventilation system, as well as the electric rear window defroster;
• in very heavy fog, you can try to see the road in front of the car by sticking your head out the door window;
• periodically you need to check your speed using the speedometer;
• To improve visibility in fog, lean over the steering wheel and bring your eyes closer to the front window. This situation is very tiring, but it must be used periodically;
• if there are markings, take a central position between the marking lines dividing the lanes;
• You can also navigate the road along the sidewalk, the side of the road, and especially along the solid white marking line marking the edge of the roadway;
• It is better to keep the driver's door window open and listen to the noise of other vehicles;
• Use the horn periodically, especially on country roads.

In fog you should not:

• getting too close to the car in front;
• use the front car's taillights as a guide, you will have misrepresentation about distance and its speed;
• look at one place in front of the car - your eyes will quickly get tired, watery and your vision will weaken;
• park the car within the road;
• move too close to the axial line, which can create a dangerous situation;
• trying to get through a strip of fog in a low-lying area on the road. It is in this area that objects and people can be hidden by fog;
• trying to overtake the vehicle in front is risky and dangerous.

It's not so much the fog that threatens traffic safety, but the technique you use when driving in foggy conditions.

Blinding sun

Shining in the eyes summer sun Tires vision and reduces concentration, reduces visibility. In the evening, morning and winter, when the sun is low above the horizon, the light falls almost parallel to the road, the strain on the eyes increases significantly. Moving against the sun is not only difficult, but sometimes dangerous. The road shines strongly, reflecting the rays of the sun, and the vehicles appear contrastingly black. Silhouettes of people are lost on the road in the glare of the sun's disk, as the pupils of our eyes narrow, limiting the amount of light transmitted into the eyes. This reduces the visibility of objects in the shadows.

If the road periodically passes through the shadow cast by roadside objects, then the moment the driver enters the shadow, he experiences a sudden decrease in visibility. This is due to the fact that the pupils of our eyes require a certain amount of time to adjust to sudden changes in light intensity.

Driving a car when driving against the low sun, both in full light and in darkened areas, requires a significant increase in attention. In addition, when driving against the sun, the colors of traffic lights, brake lights and direction indicators of vehicles noticeably fade. As a result, they do not attract your attention as much as they should. And this affects safety.

With the sun shining from behind, it is even more difficult to distinguish traffic signals, and all the rear lights of the vehicle shine with reflected light from the sun and make it impossible to determine which light is on and which is not. In this case, you need to move so that the shadow of your car falls on vehicle ahead. Then it will be much easier for you to observe its tail lights.

The low sun, shining from the side, is easier for the driver to tolerate, although it also causes trouble, forming strong shadow contrasts on the roadway.

In all these cases, you need to use a sun visor that restores visibility of the road. However, it is not recommended to use dark glasses, as they limit the brightness of illuminated areas of the road and at the same time reduce the visibility of places and objects that are in the shadows and therefore not visible enough.

Other weather phenomena.

The road becomes especially dangerous during the first snowfall(photo 1), when compacted snow and the first ice appear on the roadway. At this time, the number of collisions with pedestrians increases sharply, because drivers and pedestrians have not yet had time to adapt to the changed traffic conditions.

Photo 1. Snowfall.

Due to the reagents used on the roads, a mud mess is formed, flying from under the wheels of cars in front directly onto the windshields of those driving behind. The result is a sharp deterioration in visibility. Constantly turned on windshield wipers and huge consumption of windshield washer fluid do not help much.

Visibility is deteriorating and the number of accidents is increasing. And this is true for all cars without exception.

IN dusk and in the dark visibility deteriorates significantly. Visibility on the road matters important role, since more than 90% of the information necessary for traffic safety is received through vision. Human eyes are designed in such a way that they need time to get used to the dark. But still, night vision is significantly worse than day vision. In poor lighting, at dusk, drivers are not very good at distinguishing what is happening on the road, and besides, their eyes do not distinguish colors well. For example, red appears dark and even black. Green color looks lighter than red. When approaching a traffic light, its signals initially appear white, and only later do we begin to distinguish colors. First of all, green becomes visible, then yellow and red.

The worst time to drive is in the semi-darkness, when it is just beginning to dawn or get dark. On the highway it is difficult to distinguish obstacles. At dusk, when long shadows make it difficult to distinguish individual objects, it will help high beam, although it doesn't seem intense enough. It will not be enough to completely illuminate the highway, but it will allow you to notice an obstacle that suddenly appears in front of the car.

The driver's reaction time to an obstacle that appears on the road in conditions of reduced visibility increases by an average of 0.6...0.7 s or more, which is explained by the need to spend time recognizing this obstacle.

At night, at least the headlights help you see, but at dusk, the headlights illuminate the road very poorly. At this time, nothing helps except slow down and increase vigilance.

Signs about rain occupied an important place in the lives of our ancestors, since many aspects of pastime were connected with the weather.

What signs about rain relate to the weather?

By the size of the bubbles in the puddles you can tell how heavy and long the rain will be. The larger the bubbles, the longer and stronger it will be.

If it starts raining on a summer morning, the sun comes out in the afternoon, and it starts raining in the afternoon - the precipitation will be prolonged. The downpour, which began with large drops, will not last long. If you are, it means the sun will come out soon. Morning double or triple arc - to continuous rain.

Just before it rains, it is difficult to open wooden window frames and doors. Earthworms crawl to the surface, chickens and other birds bathe in sand and road dust, and roosters may crow shrilly for no apparent reason. Cows sniff the air, often raising their heads up, and horses shake their heads and throw them back sharply.

If frogs croak loudly during the day, this means precipitation. The sign of screaming seagulls gathering on the shore is also interpreted. Swallows fly lower before the rain. Crows usually behave noisily in the cold season, but if this happens in the middle of summer, it will soon rain. In the face of such weather, insects try to hide, and midges begin to annoy people more.

If you are outdoors and cannot read the weather forecast, take a closer look at the world around you. Before the rain, dandelions and bindweeds close, the aroma of wildflowers intensifies, and thistles straighten their hooks on the cones. If there is no wind, and the smoke of the fire hits the ground, this means precipitation.

What other signs indicate bad weather? Fog rising from a body of water to the clouds - to rain. Bright stars at night and heavy clouds in the morning foreshadow a thunderstorm at lunchtime. The crimson sky after sunset and the red color of the sun mean bad weather. Pink clouds at sunrise also portend rain. There is no dew in the morning before precipitation.

The probability of rain is also determined by the moon. If during the full moon it is cloudy and does not shine brightly, it is. The red moon, which seems to have increased in size, also promises rainy weather.

Signs about rain on a holiday

If you are caught in the rain on Annunciation, pay attention to those who need your help and support, as well as children - perhaps something went wrong. Rain on Easter promises good luck in business. True, you have to get under it by accident.

If you are wet on Ascension, make a wish related to spiritual life and it will come true. There is an opinion that it is not necessary to get caught in the rain; you can make a wish at home. Getting caught in the rain on Ivan Kupala before lunch means receiving healing, getting rid of problems and good luck.

It is especially worth paying attention to precipitation on the wedding day. If the bride and groom get wet near the registry office, on the way to it or from there, this is leading to goodness and good fortune. family life. Most likely, the couple will have many children. It’s bad when bad weather strikes immediately before or after the wedding. Read more about the meaning of rain for a wedding in other articles on our site.

Folk signs about the benefits of rainwater

In the old days it was believed that water from heaven had special properties. Babies were bathed in it because they believed they would start talking. ahead of schedule, will develop well and be in good health.

During the first thunderstorm of the year, you should wash yourself with water from the sky to improve your health. If you wet your hair, it will grow better and look beautiful.

Wet money in the rain to protect against loss and theft.

In ancient times, water from the sky was collected and stored to prepare healing herbal infusions. They restored youth and beauty and helped girls become more attractive. You can follow the advice of our ancestors and prepare herbal infusions. When you wash your face with them, you will definitely notice the results. Warts were treated with this water, removed headache, eliminated eye diseases.

Rainwater collected on Elijah's day (August 2) helps with damage, damage and other types of negative magical influence. Voznesenskaya has healing properties. Water should be collected in a clean vessel directly from the sky; dripping from trees and roofs is not suitable.

Other signs about rain

Bad weather on the day of the funeral - good sign. The soul of the deceased reached heaven and found its place in the afterlife. Some believe that precipitation is nature's cry for the death of a good person.

Get wet - . It's good when it rains on the road. But don't cancel plans because bad weather Most likely, you will be very lucky on this day. If the precipitation took you by surprise and you left your umbrella at home, don’t worry, it will bring good luck. Some people think that this is for new things.

The sun during a downpour - to a drowned person. Rain in a dream means harvest. For business people or those who do not have their own garden, such a dream foreshadows financial losses.

Signs associated with precipitation used to be purely practical significance, so it’s worth listening to them.

During rain, susceptibility to various external energetic influences increases. This facilitates the extrasensory effect of rain on a person. On the other hand, in the rain a person easily absorbs energy information, which is often negative.

When the Devil Beats His Wife

To enhance the beneficial effects of rain and receive positive energy from it, experts advise massaging the index and thumb both hands. If you know that such weather always has unfavorable consequences for you, you can strengthen the body’s resistance to it. negative influence using a massage of the little fingers. Women massage their right little finger, men massage their left.

In addition to the fact that the rain that falls on the bride and groom when leaving the registry office will wet them from head to toe, it also foreshadows family happiness and a bunch of children.

At the same time, there is a belief that if it rains during a funeral, it will mean that the soul of the deceased has safely reached heaven. According to another sign, the rain cries for the dead man and, therefore, he was a good person.

In many countries, to this day they believe that a baby who is bathed in rainwater will speak before his peers. And, by the way, in England there is a somewhat unexpected way to stop the rain - the eldest child in the family is sent outside, where he must strip naked and stand on his head!

In Russia, getting caught in the rain has always been considered a good omen, especially if a person gets caught in the rain while going on a trip.

When drops of rain suddenly fall to the ground from a clear sunny sky, in India they say that at this time the devil beats his wife.

Whoever washes himself with rainwater during the first thunderstorm will not get sick for a whole year. The first spring rain wets the head so that the hair grows as quickly as May grass. They also believe that money washed with rainwater will never be stolen.

Children who run in the rain grow faster. A drop of rain will fall on your collar - to surprise.

In the past there were many ways of causing rain, and most of them were based on the principle of sympathetic magic. One of them is to sprinkle water on the stones while reciting certain spells. Another, well known in France, is to throw flour into a stream and stir the water with a walnut rod. Then steam will rise from the water and condense into a rain cloud.

At one time it was a very widespread belief that cutting or burning bracken also caused rain, and in some regions the same was said of burning heather.

In England there is a mountain lake called Black Lake. On its shore there is a series of stone steps carved down into the water. It is believed that a person who goes down these steps as deep as possible and splashes water to soak the farthest stone, called the Red Altar, will certainly cause rain, and the rain will begin before dusk, even if the day is very hot.

Even in the recent past, during droughts, images of saints were often dipped into water - either as a magical ritual, or as punishment for not listening to the prayers of the people. For example, in France there was a custom to pray to St. Peter for rain. If this did not help, the residents carried the icon of the Saint to the river and, contrary to all the interests of the clergy, immersed it in the water.

This custom has been preserved in some places to this day. For example, in Kaluga region During a drought in the summer of 1982, in order to make rain, elderly women took a grave cross from a cemetery and lowered it into a river for six weeks. After which they took him back to the cemetery again.

In other areas, until recently, there was a custom of pouring twelve buckets of water on the grave of a strangled or drowned person during a long drought. It was believed that this would definitely help.

Conspiracy against the teacher

“The simplest way to make rain, which is still common among children, is to kill a frog and a flea. Then they are strung on a thread, hung on a bush and sentenced: “As these fleas and frogs hang, so let the clouds hang over me!” Another way to make it rain is to throw water and tea from a mug into the fire.”

Back in the 19th century, people in Russia believed that witches could cause drought. So, in 1893, a curious case was heard in one of the district courts. The village headman Pyotr Dubnenko was accused of abuse of power by chaining a peasant woman whom he mistook for a witch.

And it was like this. In the village of Novo-Vladimirovka there was a religious procession and a prayer service at the cemetery for the sending of rain. When local resident Alexandra Lapushenkova came up to kiss the cross, a nearby kitten meowed. The crowd immediately mistook Alexandra for a witch and, since according to one of the beliefs, you only need to pour water on a witch to make it rain, the poor woman was dipped into a pond three times, then thrown into a hole, where they continued to douse her with water, and in the end the elder himself helped to chain her up. her in a chain.

This case was considered in court for two years, and as a result, the court sentenced the headman to prison for two months!

Rainwater was collected to wash with and to prepare healing herbal decoctions. Infusions prepared with rainwater helped restore youth and beauty. Water collected on August 2, Elijah's day, eliminates the evil eye and damage. And collected for the Ascension, it has healing properties, but only if you catch the drops in a clean vessel directly from the sky. There was no point in collecting water flowing from roofs or dripping from trees. Therefore, on Ascension Day, basins and pots were regularly exposed to the rain. The collected water was bottled and it was believed that it would remain fresh forever.

"IN folk medicine rainwater was used for headaches, to treat eye diseases and to remove warts, for endemic goiter, and night blindness. Healers advised treating warts as follows: Take a drop of rain from the third fence pole from the gate and anoint the sore spot with it.”

Seeing rain in a dream foretells a rich harvest for a farmer, and, on the contrary, for a businessman, losses and ruin.

In order, on the contrary, to increase sales of goods, a businessman will need a handful of mountain sand and rainwater collected after a night rain. Pour sand into a bowl and sit at the table at midnight to perform a magical ritual. Slowly pour rainwater onto the sand and quickly say the following words: “As quickly as this water goes into the grains of sand, so let my product (name of the product) go into your hands.”

“If a teacher often clings to you in class, modern magicians advise performing the following simple ritual. Collect rainwater while thunder roars. Say to this water: As the thunder subsides, so do you (name) subside! Just as thunder doesn’t touch me (your name), so you don’t touch me!”

“It is best to give the teacher this water or mix it into his drink. If you can’t do this, then just spray it where he will sit and follow him. While splashing, say: Thunder (name) doesn’t touch me, and you (teacher’s name) don’t touch me!”

Rainbow Potion

If during rain you wash your face, moisten the back of your head, lower back, the area where your heart is located and your hands, then the water will wash away the negativity and help healing. According to psychics, water collected from 6 to 7 am, in addition to the indicated properties, helps to attract good luck at work and gives new positive ideas.

From 7 to 8 - relieves headaches and the consequences of nightmares.

From 8 to 9 - promotes the emergence of additional mental energy.

From 9 to 10 - relieves depression, sadness, melancholy, drives away vicious thoughts.

From 10 to 11 - gives energy to the heart, awakens creativity.

From 11 to 12 - helps overcome stress and fears, harmonizes soul and body.

From 12 to 13 - resists the evil eye and damage, extinguishes the feeling of revenge and aggression.

From 13 to 14 - awakens clairvoyance abilities and develops intuition.

From 14 to 15 - relieves increased nervous excitability.

From 15 to 16 - contributes to the emergence of “new” knowledge “out of nowhere”.

From 16 to 17 - promotes reconciliation with your ill-wishers.

From 17 to 18 - brings harmony to family relationships, helps to find the right solution in a critical situation.

The so-called rainbow water has very strong magical properties. To get it, during the rain, wait until the rainbow appears. At this point, expose any non-metallic container to the rain.

If you manage to collect rainwater during a rainbow, save it for use in rituals. She is sanctified by the presence of the rainbow. Because the rainbow contains all colors, this potion is applicable to all types of magic. Pour it into a bottle and label it. Add to baths or lubricate body and hands while visualizing a magical purpose.

If the person you want to bewitch has a bird at home, magicians advise doing the following. Collect some rainwater and put a spoon or two of millet in it, depending on how much water there is. Leave everything for a day. Then drain the water and discard the millet. Take the water to the bird, but before you pour it into the drinking bowl, read the spell: “Water, water, clever mother, give the bird a drink not of yourself, but of my love. The number of times he drinks, the more love he receives. He will drink everything to the dregs and will love me to the end.”

If you are lonely and can’t find your soulmate, do another simple ritual that is practiced by modern magicians. Collect some rainwater in a cup or jar. Water should fall into the container naturally, “straight from the sky.”

Bring a container of water into the house. Sprinkle a few drops on each corner of your bed. Be careful, too much water can lead to unpredictable behavior on the part of your future lover or lover.

Take the remaining water in the vessel, sit with it in the center of the bed and say: “I ask you, through this fresh, sweet rain, to give me a person who will ease my pain of loneliness.”

Seeing rain in a dream means tears.

If the rain is rare, then this portends trouble. The troubles are not very big, but they will make you worry and cause tears.

If the drops are cloudy and fall slowly, then your soul will be heavy from betrayal and betrayal. When drops fall on the sand, this indicates that your loved one has been cheating for a long time. If water accumulates on the sand, then the deception will soon be revealed to you. If drops fall into the water (stream, river), then a serious disagreement will occur with your loved one, which can lead to a complete break in the relationship. If the water in a river or stream is very muddy, moves quickly, and carries all kinds of garbage, then rumors, gossip, and slander will accompany betrayal. If there are stones in a river or stream, then this indicates separation from a loved one or (for married people) divorce.

To see steady and heavy rain that falls evenly on the ground means you should expect big troubles. These include failures at work and troubles in your personal life.

If the rain falls suddenly and sharply in a dream, it indicates loss. You may lose a lucrative offer, your plans will not be able to come true. It could also be the loss of some expensive item.

If you feel rain in a dream, then a misfortune will happen to someone close to you. If you feel that drops are flowing down your face and hands, in reality you are crying about someone close to you. If you see that the raindrops are dark, then this indicates a serious illness that will end in death. If the drops are light, then the illness will be long and severe, but the person will recover.

If you get caught in the rain in a dream and feel that the drops are dry or rough, then this is a worry about someone from your household; if the touch of rain is not felt, a misfortune will happen to one of the relatives. If you feel that the drops are wet, then there will be tears due to unhappy love.

If in a dream you got caught in the rain and got wet to the skin, it means you will have very big problems, which will be difficult to solve on your own, without resorting to someone’s help.

If you watch the rain from home, then worries about future troubles will not be able to completely capture you. If you hide from the rain or protect yourself from it with an umbrella, then you will be able to avoid an unfavorable state of affairs; the unpleasant situation will be short-lived. If in a dream, caught in the rain, you managed to hide under a tree, then one of your friends will come to your aid. In the event that you are hiding from the rain in the house, this indicates that you are deliberately closing your eyes to the current state of affairs, and the situation is becoming more and more tense and may get out of control.

If you are sheltered from the rain in a dream an old house, then you will only delay the time of trouble, but in the future this will lead to an aggravation of the conflict, to a worsening of the situation.

By the way, the famous poet Johann Wolfgang Goethe always believed in predictions, dreams, and miracles. One day he was walking with his friend Kurt, and they were caught in heavy rain. Through the veil of rain, Goethe suddenly saw his friend Friederik, who was standing on the road in a dressing gown, cap and slippers. Goethe was very surprised and exclaimed: “What are you doing here? On road? In this form?..” But since his companion Kurt did not see anything, Goethe thought that he had imagined it all. Imagine his surprise when, returning home, he found Fryderyk there, who was dressed in a robe, cap and shoes. It turns out that on the way to Goethe he got very wet and, having come to him, changed into the owner’s robe. While waiting for Goethe, he sat down in a chair and quietly fell asleep. In a dream he saw that it was as if during heavy rain walking along the road, he met Goethe, he looked very surprised and exclaimed: “What are you doing here?” The famous poet could not explain both Frederick’s dream and his vision, but left a note about it in his biography.

Summer showers, in contrast to the protracted and dull autumn ones, are more often associated in our minds with the cheerful patter of drops on the window glass, washed with greenery and streams of water on the asphalt. Anyone who did not have the opportunity to splash through puddles during the warm rain as a child and step with his bare heels on the bubbles jumping up here and there has definitely missed out on something in his life... Why, by the way, do they appear? Let's find out. And at the same time we’ll find out what signs say about bubbles in puddles.

Cause of bubbles

Look for this funny a natural phenomenon during drizzling rain it is useless - in order for the water under your feet to bubble, several variables must come together at once.

First, the droplet size. When one of them falls into a puddle, forming a small funnel for a split second, water splashes up from the resulting hole. Its edges collapse, capturing a small particle of air, and a bubble runs along the surface of the puddle. It is clear that the larger and heavier the drop, the harder it will hit the surface of the water - which means more bubbles will appear.

It takes a real downpour to make bubbles

Secondly, the wind. Or rather, its absence. While the drops fly vertically down from the cloud, the force of impact on the water increases, and the bubbles become large and strong. But as soon as the wind deflects the flight of a small projectile, the drops begin to scatter across the surface of the puddle and dissolve in it, unable to raise the “wave” of the required height.

And finally, Atmosphere pressure. When it is raised, falling drops momentarily bounce off the puddle before dissolving into it, creating splashes instead of bubbles.

What do they mean?

Surprisingly, folk superstitions cannot agree on what bubbles in puddles mean. Some argue that this is a direct promise that the rain will soon end: they say, now it will all pour out and the sun will come out. Others, on the contrary, are convinced that bubbling puddles promise prolonged bad weather. Who is right?

Heavy rain usually doesn't last long

And those and others. On the one hand, large drops usually fall from cumulus clouds, which themselves are not very large. This is how summer thunderstorms usually happen - they swooped in, made noise, whipped up bubbles in the puddles and died down.

On the other hand, cumulus clouds are often followed by nimbostratus clouds. And here you can’t count on a quick end to the bad weather: once it starts, a quiet and light rain can drizzle all day.

Most often, signs advise paying attention to the size of the bubbles. The larger and stronger they are, the longer the bad weather will last.

Signs about bubbles in puddles are changeable and rarely give accurate predictions. But is it worth being upset about this?
