Eh?
It's going to rain = take your umbrella
It's going to snow = wrap up warm
It's going to be 35 degrees = you work in an office where the heating's on the blink and they haven't been able to switch it off since the spring...

1. Red skies in the morning, sailors take warning. Red skies at night, sailor's delight.
Meaning: Red skies in the west in the morning indicates bad weather is coming. Red skies in the west at the evening means that the weather will be clear the next day. This is because in the Northern Hemisphere, weather patterns generally track from west to east.
2. If there is enough blue to make a pair of Dutchman's britches, it isn't going to rain any more.
Meaning: After a rain if you see quite a bit of blue sky, it means the clouds are going away and the weather is clearing. Traditionally, the trousers worn by Dutch men were big and baggy-it would take a lot of blue cloth to make a pair.
