The common phrase "red sky at morning" is a line from an ancient rhyme often repeated with variants by mariners [1] and others: Red sky at night, sailors' delight. Red sky at morning, sailors take warning.
A red sky – in the morning or evening – is a result of high pressure air in the atmosphere trapping particles of dust or soot.
