The German proverb “Abendrot, schlecht Wetter droht” translates to “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight; red sky in the morning, sailor’s warning.” It is a weather that predicts the weather based on the color of the sky at sunset and sunrise.
If the sky is red at sunset, it means that there is high pressure to the west and low pressure to the east. This pressure difference causes winds to blow from the west, which typically brings clear and dry weather. However, if the sky is red at sunrise, it means that there is high pressure to the east and low pressure to the west. This pressure difference causes winds to blow from the east, which typically brings clouds and rain.
