Red Sky at the Morning...!!!
The common phrase "red sky at morning" is a line from an ancient rhyme often repeated by mariners:[1]
Red sky at night, sailors' delight.
Red sky at morning, sailors take warning[2][3][4]
The rhyme is a rule of thumb used for weather forecasting during the past two millennia. It is based on the reddish glow of the morning or evening sky, caused by haze or clouds related to storms in the region.[2][3][5] If the morning skies are red, it is because clear skies over the horizon to the east permit the sun to light the undersides of moisture-bearing clouds. The saying assumes that more such clouds are coming in from the west. Conversely, in order to see red clouds in the evening, sunlight must have a clear path from the west, so therefore the prevailing westerly wind must be bringing clear skies.
There are occasions where a storm system might rain itself out before reaching the observer (who had seen the morning red sky). For ships at sea however, the wind and rough seas from an approaching storm system could still be a problem, even without rainfall.
Because of different prevailing wind patterns around the globe, the traditional rhyme is generally not correct at lower latitudes of both hemispheres, where prevailing winds are from east to west. The rhyme is generally correct at mid-latitudes where, due to the rotation of the Earth, prevailing winds travel west to east.
Like a red morn that ever yet betokened,
Wreck to the seaman, tempest to the field,
Sorrow to the shepherds, woe unto the birds,
Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds.
from Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis
The perils are foreshadowed using the archaic word "betokened"; some versions use the archaic term "Wrack" (for the word "Wreck").

Yes, @tagarisko007, this is a very interesting posts, but the text above in your post ("The rhyme is a rule of thumb...") is from a youtube post, as found by @cheetah above... Did you make that post on youtube? If you did not, you must properly cite any sources that aren't from yourself...
I know I just add it for information
That's perfectly alright--but you need to cite--i.e., provided the name and location of where you acquired/ retrieved any knowledge that was not immediately your own; this includes images. Please edit your post accordingly.
and I clicked this picture
Sorry lol you mean you took this picture? That's great. I would state that in your post too, just for clarity (and so others know who "clicked" it!) . But the text must state the source. Thank you.
Thank you for support
