I've heard the same.

Given that red skies are created by light scattering off / through clouds, I've always assumed that the sailor's warning is of an incoming storm and the shepherd's delight is of temperatures rising as cloud cover increases.

Someone should take this over to r/wallpaperengine and see what they can do with it. Would be cool to have a day/night slider to change the color of the sky.

I mean

The UK has some history of seafaring too.

That said, irish here and we've always said shepherd's too.

Red sky at night, shepherd's delight.

Red sky in morning, shepherd's warning.

Brown and white sky: shepherd's pie.

Both are said in the UK. Might be a regional thing, based on where the wool trade was primary versus where going to sea was more common?

It goes back a long way, though.

You are all fishermen. When it is evening, you say, "It will be fair weather, for the sky is red." And in the morning, "It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening."

All of you know how to interpret the signs of the earth and sky. How is it you cannot interpret the signs of the times?

~ Matthew 16:23.
