Leaves turn up before the rain.
Leaves do not predict rain but react to humidity and wind changes that often precede rain. Deciduous trees, like maples and poplars, may have leaves that flip due to wind and increased humidity, but this is not a reliable weather prediction. Scientific methods relying on instruments are needed for accurate forecasts.

Leaves turn up before the rain.
While leaves can flip upward due to changes in humidity and wind that often occur before rain, this is not a reliable method for predicting weather. It is an observable reaction to environmental changes but not a scientifically supported predictive method.
