Harbinger

A harbinger is something that signals or predicts the arrival of a future event or change. Think of it as an omen or indicator that gives clues about what's coming next, often before the event actually happens. For example, dark clouds can be a harbinger of rain. It’s used to describe signs or early warnings that indicate a significant shift or development is likely to occur soon. The term helps us recognize patterns or signals that prepare us for upcoming changes or outcomes.
