We've got a similar proverb in french: rouge du soir, beau temps, espoir ; rouge du matin, la pluie est en chemin (evening red, nice weather, hope ; morning red, rain is coming).

It's from the Bible.

>Matthew 16:2-3:

>He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring.

This is a very ancient seafarer's saying that predates the Bible.
