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
