Red Sky in the Morning

This is the sky that greeted me at work at 6am this morning
 "Red sky at night, sailors delight.
red sky in the morning, sailors warning
                                     
                      This old adage is backed up by some heavyweights

                          Shakespeare in his play Venus and Adonis

                  "like the red morn that ever yet betokened, Wreck
                   to the seamen, tempest to the field, sorrow to the shepherds,
                   woe unto the birds, gusts and fowl flaws to herdmen  and to herds"

                         The Bible ( Matthew XVI: 2-3)

                  "When in the evening, ye say, it will be fair weather; For the sky is red
                   and in the morning, it will be foul weather today; for the sky is red and
                                                           lowering."
                     Science says that there is some truth to this as well, however it                                                                                            
                                                makes for a boring read
