The purple evening glow is truly a fascinating spectacle, which remains in memory for a long time. What is the reason for this phenomenon is interesting to many, and for the ancestors who predicted weather by natural phenomena, it was even more interesting, because nature with its rain, winds, clouds and snow determined what will be the harvest, and hence life for the whole future year. In this article will be told about the signs relating to the red sun at sunset.
Signs associated with the red sun:
- if the sunset is clear, then the next day will be the same, but if the luminary sits right in the cloud, the weather will deteriorate - frowns and will be foul;
- according to folk signs, the red sun at sunset and in the cloud foretells the rain, and in winter the snowstorm;
- A crimson sunset without clouds promises clear, windy weather. A strong wind will blow, provided that the previous evening there was already such weather, and the whirlwind was spread only on the ground with seeming no wind. Then they say: "The wind blows the wind";
- if the sky turns red at the sunset, when it's still quite high, the bad weather will happen the same evening. Postponement of this phenomenon for 1-2 days will ensure the reddening of the sky only after sunset;
- the red sun at sunrise on a promise promises rain. And if the winter is in the yard, then it will turn cold;
- the coloration of the sky in crimson color only at sunrise promises precipitation in 1-2 days. And if at the dawn the sky is painted in all colors, then the bad weather will come on the same day;
- if in the summer the sunset turns red from the north, then it's worth waiting for the frost (dew). The sun that has not shown up in the morning will hide behind a cloud - rain is imminent;
- there are many signs associated with the red sun in the evening. A brightly shining light before sunset on a cloudy day promises a long bad weather;
- if during the rain, the clouds at sunset acquire a bright color, they say: "Dawn is burning" and waiting for further deterioration of the weather. However, this only concerns
staining clouds in the south and north: in the west and east, on the contrary, it promises clear weather; - precipitation is possible if the luminary is hidden behind a huge cloud, and the eastern horizon is painted in purple or copper-red color;
- Sunset against the background of an abundance of clouds in the form of bands foreshadows bad weather.
Such ancestors were believed by such ancestors in Russia and by which many are still using today. Trying to observe the behavior of the sun and clouds at sunset and sunrise, you can make sure of the correctness of such conclusions, made many hundreds of years ago.
