    When the hills seem very far away and the sky looks high and blue and when the sun goes down in all its red and golden beauty fine weather is indicated. A rainbow at night is a good sign for the old rhyme says
    A rainbow at night is the shepherd's delight
    A rainbow in the morning is the shepherd's warning
    It is a sign of frost to see the moon rising red in winter time
