Cabañuelasの英語

Las cabañuelas (also cavanuelas or cabanuelas) were a method of forecasting the weather practiced throughout the Hispanic diaspora. It's a traditional form of weather pronostication dating from many centuries old in Spain. It's practiced in all South America, including the Caribbean, and even in parts of Africa that were before territories of Spain. In Spain the so-called experts cabañuelistas are organized in the 'Asociación Cultural Española de cabañuelas y Astrometereología' (ACECA) and every year they report for the year the weather for the coming twelve months.
