#MEwx Today's Weather Proverb

This proverb is very similar to the one about “Red Sky” in the morning. You never know, everyone has their own way of interpreting things.

“Rainbow in the morning sailor’s warning; rainbow at night sailor’s delight.”

This proverb is similar to the “Red sky at night…” one, but rather than looking at the sky as a whole, you’re focusing on a unique weather phenomenon: the rainbow. Since rainbows are always on the opposite side of us from the sun, they appear in the west in the morning, and the east in the evening. A rainbow will always be in the location of rain, so a morning rainbow means precipitation in the west (likely approaching your location), and an evening rainbow means precipitation in the east (likely heading away from your location). Since fair weather often follows a rain shower, night rainbows delight sailors.
