Red sky in the morning...

This morning I was awake and having my first cup of coffee when the sun came up. The light streaming in an east facing window was a strange shade of red; it reminded me of dried blood. What's that old weather saying.....?

Red sky at night, sailor's delight.
Red sky in the morning, sailor take warning.
It all seemed slightly ominous given the monster hurricane that's out in the Atlantic right now.


I took a picture of Marco facing the sunrise. It doesn't really capture how odd the light was, though.

    Sunrises fascinate me as much as sunsets, and usually a red morning sky means a rainy day here. Thankfully, we are out of reach of hurricanes - I have read they can only form above water that has a temperature of at least 26.5 Celsius, and our nearest body of water certainly never reaches that.
    We do get our own set of storms (with hail, sometimes), though.

      This hurricane (Irma) is breaking records. Last night before I went to bed the winds were up to 185 mph (sustained) with gusts up to 225mph. It's going to be catastrophic when it hits.

      I'm not a troll.Rachel tells you nonsens. You're a nice person and if sometimes I do not agree it does not mean that I do not like what you're writing in your blog. I appreciate deeply your statements about your "president".

    Hopefully it won't come as far north as you are, but yes, it does seem ominous nonetheless. Good photo, though!

      Some tracks have it coming right over our heads. :( It's going to be awful no matter where it ends up. I'm worried about our find Ms. Moon in Florida.

    In England we usually say:-
    Red sky at night a shepherd's delight
    Red sky in the morning a sailor's warning.

    Of course, meteorologically speaking, it's all bullshit.

      Of course! But weather folklore is fun.

      Tornado overhead
