Mackerel scales,
Furl your sails.
A mackerel sky,
Not twenty-four hours dry.

If a layer of thin clouds drive up from the northwest, and under other clouds moving more to the south, expect fine weather.
Opening.
If clouds open and close, rain will continue.
Red Sky.
When it is evening, ye say it will be fair weather, for the sky is red; and in the morning it will be foul weather to-day, for the sky is red and lowering. (Matthew xvi, 2, 3.)
