Do leaves on a tree really indicate the coming of a storm?

1 Answer

Answer :

It doesn’t have to be a storm. The leaves will turn when it is very humid or before it rains, period. It isn’t that it is necessarily going to storm.. it just means that the atmosphere has a lot of moisture – which makes the leaves “soft” and they sort of wilt. From the ground, it appears as if they are turning before it rains. :)
