See now this is where i get conflicting statements. From the met office (Official Uk weather company) i get:- "For example, 'Red sky at night, shepherd's delight; red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning' has a valid scientific explanation to support it. It relates to the morning sun (rising in the east) illuminating the clouds of approaching weather fronts on the western horizon (shepherd's warning) and the evening sun (setting in the west) illuminating clearing clouds on the eastern horizon (shepherds delight). As most poor weather approaches the UK from the west and clears towards the east and because sunlight at low levels appears red due to it being scattered by dust, this ancient weather folklore is supported by science." First the statement is saying that its the sunlight highlighting the clouds to the opposite side of the sun (East) and its then its saying its the dust particles but which is it?...or both? I was checking satellite feeds yesterday and there was clear skies to the North, East South and West of me during sunset and although the sun had an orange glow, the skies stayed blue?
