red sky
Dusk's fiery canvas
Red sky refers to the reddish or orange coloration of the sky at sunrise or sunset, traditionally used to predict weather.
The folk saying "red sky at night, sailor's delight; red sky in morning, sailor's warning" reflects genuine meteorological observation—red evening skies often precede fair weather, while red morning skies may signal approaching storms.
The red sky at dawn made the fishermen uneasy.
