One of the surviving manifestations of the mythe de l'étemel retour (M. Eliade) is the prediction concerning the weather expressed, as year succeeds to year, through the meteorological conditions of twelve days, which represent the twelve months to follow. This is an ancestral practice typical of a number of different cultures, but the present article will be limited to the Romance domain (basically the European Romance area, excluding Rumanian). Most of the contribution deals with the list of correspondences between days and months and also with the ñames assigned to the twelve days. This kind of prediction can be linked to twelve material Índices (salt, onions, nuts), whose behaviour from one day to the next is considered in some places to be a premonition of what the future holds in store regarding the weather in the coming twelve months.
