Red Sky at night, shepherd’s delight.
Matthew, 16.2-3
Red Sky in the morning, shepherd’s warning.
If your weather system predominately comes from the west, then according to the Met Office there is some truth to this line in the Bible. A red sky appears when dust and other small particles are trapped in the atmosphere by high pressure. So when it appears at night it means fair weather is probably headed towards you, whereas in the morning the high pressure has already or is moving east, taking away the ‘good’ weather and making way for wet and windy weather that comes with a low pressure system.

That looks eery. Reminds me of Lucy Westenraa seeing the Count’s eyes in the sunset (thinking about it it would have been so much more telling if she’d seen the premonition in a sunrise). It seems as if I’m heaving interesting ladies on my mind: https://picturesimperfectblog.com/2025/07/04/witch-is-the-reddest-hair/

It’s before the Count makes land, I think, and Lucy sits and watches the sunset. She seems to see red eyes in the cloud and the scene is said to foreshadow the hold Dracula will have over her. It’s an image that has always stayed with me.

Thanks for that explanation, which I’d never heard before. A lovely photo too. You’ll find my today’s post cheekily included in my Indian Friday this week. And tomorrow’s may be even cheekier: https://margaret21.com/2025/07/04/indian-friday-hello-thanjavur/

don’t worry you were not the only one today to think it was a sunset. I am just one of those annoying early birds who often see sunrises
