Full moon and a mackerel sky, mackerel sky - never long wet, never long dry.
I glanced outside this evening to see this spectacular moon. Even better yet was the mackerel sky. In the days of sailing ships this type of sky was viewed as a likely forerunner of stormy weather. It has been so hot of late and we’ve had some lightning shows with thunder and some short rains. I’m hopeful that the mackerel sky tonight will bring some cooling rain. Here’s an old saying…….Mare’s tails and mackerel scales make lofty ships take in their sails.
A halo presented itself around the moon and those perfect little clouds
Magical moon in a mackerel night sky.
