In the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia we can see today's red dawn in Alcorisa, in Teruel, with a sky, in addition, with clouds of sheep.
Little sheep normally predict a change in weather. In fact, the saying goes: "Sheer sky, before three days wet."
The special texture that clouds acquire in the sky makes it popularly resemble a surface between brick or cotton.
The presence of a middle cloud layer, altocumulus stratiformis, also coincides in this case with the candilazo phenomenon, a meteorological phenomenon in which the clouds in the sky show a wide palette of colors ranging from pink to the most intense orange.
As part of the phenomenon of dispersion of sunlight, in the morning and afternoon hours, when the sun is closer to the horizon, the light that reaches the Earth is soft tones between red and orange.
In a certain way, when this light passes through the clouds, it illuminates them and could be said to color them with those tones.
The candilazo is also known as arrebol, which is the red color seen in clouds illuminated by the sun's rays, especially at dawn and in the evening.
