Red Sky at Night

 Is the old adage “Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky in morning, sailors take warning” true, or is it just an old wives’ tale?

 Red sky at night, sailors delight.

When we see a red sky at night, this means that the setting sun is sending its light through a high concentration of dust particles. This usually indicates high pressure and stable air coming in from the west, good weather will follow.  

Red sky in morning, sailors take warning.

A red sunrise reflects the dust particles of a system that has just passed from the west. This indicates that a storm system may be moving to the east. If the morning sky is a deep fiery red, it means high water content in the atmosphere. So, rain is on its way.
