Here is a definition of what Peirce meant by a sign relation:

| A sign is something, 'A', which brings something, 'B',
| its 'interpretant' sign determined or created by it,
| into the same sort of correspondence with something, 'C',
| its 'object', as that in which itself stands to 'C'.

So when I say "coolness is a Sign of the Object rain, and
the Interpretant is the thought of the rain's likelihood",
it is because I think that the coolness in question brings
the thought of the rain's likelihood into the same sort of
correspondence with the objective event of rain as that in
which the coolness itself stands to the same event of rain.
