Sailor's warning
It will be three years ago this week, when on November 28th-29th, 2005, we awoke to eerie, though undeniably beautiful, skies as that shown above, which heralded the coming of the near-hurricane Tropical Storm Delta.
You know what the Nursery Rhyme says:
Red sky at night,
Sailor's delight;
Red sky in the morning,
Sailor's warning.
Where I learnt it, it was a shepherd, but I guess a sailor is probably more apt for an island, although, I'm certain that the warning applied to all.
Thankfully, that was uniquely unusual weather for Tenerife.
For for the more usual weather in Tenerife south now ...
