Red sky at night, sailors’ delight.
Red sky at morning, sailors take warning.

Basically if a high pressure area is west of you, the western sky looks red due to dust when the sun is setting. High pressure is good weather coming from west to east. As always with meteorology though, there are exceptions 🙂
