A proverb which everyone knows. For sure, bad weather is on the way. Even Shakespeare had it sussed. A verse in his poem ‘Venus and Adonis‘:
Once more the ruby-colour’d portal open’d,
Which to his speech did honey passage yield;
Like a red morn, that ever yet betoken’d
Wreck to the seaman, tempest to the field,
Sorrow to shepherds, woe unto the birds,
Gusts and foul flaws to herdmen and to herds.
There is some science behind it. With a prevailing westerly weather system, high pressure is in the east and a warm front and low-pressure system will follow from the west, bringing with it bad weather.
