Rains

Bhikkhus, these five are dangerous for rains, those that forecaste rains do not know or see them. What five?

Bhikkhus, in space, high above, the fire element gets disturbed and a storm rising on account of it comes to earth. Bhikkhus, this is the first danger for rains, which those that forecaste rains do not know or see.

Again, bhikkhus, in space, high above, the air element gets disturbed and a storm rising on account of it comes to earth. Bhikkhus, this is the second danger for rains, which those that forecaste rains do not know or see.

Again, bhikkhus, the king of demons receives some water in the hand and throws it into the ocean. Bhikkhus, this is the third danger for rains, which those that forecaste rains do not know or see.

Again, bhikkhus, the clouds that bring rain get belated. Bhikkhus, this is the fourth danger for rains, which those that forecaste rains do not know or see.

Again, bhikkhus the people become unrighteous. Bhikkhus, this is the fifth danger for rains, which those that forecaste rains do not know or see.

Bhikkhus, these five are dangerous for rains, those that forecaste rains do not know or see them.
