Swithin and the Saintly Rain Forty Day Rule
Swithin, a ninth century English ecclesiastic, was buried at Winchester. After canonization a translation to Winchester Cathedral was planned for July 15 but delayed by forty days of rain. This gave rise to the belief that rain on July 15 predicts forty days of showers, a pattern loosely observed around the summer solstice.
