Cirrus clouds almostv always come in ahead of a change for the worse. I worked as a roadsweeper a few years back, in Cleelan', and I used to put all the weather theories to the test. I had a cracking book about weather lore that I used to carry about with me, which sadly is long gone (some hooligans ran my handcart down a hill and by the time I found it my glovebox had been raided).
The rhyme for mackerel sky went along the lines of..
Mackerel sky, Mackerel sky,
Never long wet, never long dry.
(Which is a pretty safe bet I suppose).
