Yes! Although the version I heard was just slightly different:

> [@Methods to Read Nature and Predict the Weather sun\_behind\_small\_cloud](https://forum.spells8.com/t/methods-to-read-nature-and-predict-the-weather/4551/1):
>
> Red skies at night, sailors delight.  
> Red skies at morning, sailors take warning.

I wrote a bit about this phrase in an old post on [Weather Magic](https://forum.spells8.com/t/methods-to-read-nature-and-predict-the-weather/4551). Always a fun thing to discuss- and this is first time I’ve seen Shakesphere linked to the phrase, so thanks for that bit!

Always insightful, @Garnet- thanks for sharing 🥰
