red sky at night; shepherds delight,
red sky in the morning; shepherds warning


1395

the eeuenynge maad, ye seien, it shal be cleer, for the heuene is lijk to reed; and the morwe, to day tempest, for heuen shyneth heuy, or sorwful.


1593

a red morn, that ever yet betoken'd wreck to the seaman - sorrow to shepherds.

frieda i googled myself and found it means something like "red sunset, water in the ditch", right? is the saying implying that a red sky in the evening is a sign that rain's on the way?

According to a Hungarian saying, red sky in the evening means windy weather is coming.
