Why “weatherlore” is a great word
WEATHERLORE — [Noun] The traditional knowledge or belief concerning weather prediction and atmospheric signs, passed down as folklore. From weather (state of the atmosphere) + lore (traditional knowledge or belief). Unlike "meteorology" (which analyzes quantifiable data) or a "proverb" (which offers generalized counsel), weatherlore is an intuitive, experiential body of wisdom. It is the red sky at dawn warning the sailor, the ache in an old scar foretelling a cold front, and the observation of ants moving their eggs to higher ground—a quiet, pragmatic dialogue between human senses and a vast, indifferent sky.
