朝あさ焼やけは雨あめ、夕ゆう焼やけは晴はれ

expression

red sky at morning, sailors take warning; red sky at night, sailors delight

A traditional weather proverb: a red sunrise often means rain is coming, while a red sunset suggests the next day will be fine. Equivalent to the English 'red sky at night, shepherd's delight; red sky in morning, shepherd's warning.'
