Summary, etc. The paper presents twenty abiotic indicators used by farmers for weather prediction in Wayanad district, Kerala.<br />These indicators were based mainly on the appearance of sky, color and patterns of cloud, moon, wind, rainbow and<br />temperature. The popularity of these indicators among farmers was measured using use validity score (UVS) based on<br />purpose of use, extent of use and perceived reliability.
