Red skies at night

Oh oh oh oh…

Should have taken warning, it's just

People mourning

Running, hiding, lost

You can't find, find a place to go, so it's

Red skies at night

Is the adage reversed in the Southern Hemisphere because the prevailing winds are East-West?

My fav band, but not a fav song of theirs Thrice - Red Sky:

I know what lies beneath, I've seen the flash of teeth

Conspiring with the reef to sink our ship

The wind's a cheating wife, her tongue a thirsty knife

And she could take your life with one good kiss

I've always heard it as shepherds rather than sailors. Is this a country difference? I'm in the UK.

Both are said in the UK. Might be a regional thing, based on where the wool trade was primary versus where going to sea was more common?

It goes back a long way, though.

You are all fishermen. When it is evening, you say, "It will be fair weather, for the sky is red." And in the morning, "It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening."

All of you know how to interpret the signs of the earth and sky. How is it you cannot interpret the signs of the times?

Someone should take this over to r/wallpaperengine and see what they can do with it. Would be cool to have a day/night slider to change the color of the sky.

I've heard the same.

Given that red skies are created by light scattering off / through clouds, I've always assumed that the sailor's warning is of an incoming storm and the shepherd's delight is of temperatures rising as cloud cover increases.

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).

red skies at night

"This song finds The Fixx lead singer and lyricist Cy Curnin singing about the aftermath of a nuclear fall out. In our 2012 interview with Curnin, he said that this tune, along with "Stand or Fall," echoed "back to that sense of impotence that I felt after 9/11." He explained: "I was feeling that sense of impotence back then in the early '80s or late '70s when Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher were getting in bed together, metaphorically speaking, and designing a whole defense system that involved Europeans' lives without asking us - it was never on any electorate ballot that I can remember. That struck a chord.""

This saying only makes logical sense if the weather pattern is generally clouds moving west to east. So that might not really describe England the way it does the eastern US.

Red sky at night, the sailors are howling and laughing.

The sailors begin to surround us, and the night is so very red.

I'm from Yorkshire, always heard Shepherd's. The wife is from Newcastle and she always uses Sailors. So it all depends on whether you're from a farming or shipbuilding county.

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.

The flow is overwhelmingly west to east in the northern hemisphere, but it's still just a saying. It's never going to be scientifically accurate.

Replying to S1075 (#1,731,928)

It's scientifically accurate-ish. The idea is that the dawn sun shines on the underside of the band of clouds about to dump rain and wind on you. While the setting sun demonstrates that approaching clouds are just a narrow band, not a major system. Ergo the weather will pass by in the night and tomorrow will be fine.

Used to hear red at night is a sailor’s delight, red in the morning is a sailor’s warning.

My dad always said it was a weather indicator. My spouse told me it had to do with the red light districts and the light still being on. Not sure how that came about.

To be fair it’s very Division Bell-ish, the track The Blue includes the line “Still marooned” after all. Then Pink Floyd’s last album The Endless River also referenced Division Bell, so it’s pretty in-line with #JustPinkFloydThings

Replying to OtherwiseJello (#1,733,932)

It is an old saying and generally true in the northern hemisphere where this English-language saying originated and weather patterns typically travel from west to east. Stormy skies are more red than usual at sunrise and sunset. So if I was sailing from America to England, west to east with the prevailing wind, and saw a red sunrise, a “red sky in the morning,” I could expect that storm to travel towards me and I towards it since the sun rises in the east.
