The word "heavens" is always in plural form which means the sky.
In Old English, the word “heofon” means “home of God” which is the sky that we can see from the earth. In British English, the term “the heavens/sky opened/closed” related to the weather. Then, the heavens opened means there was heavy rain and the heavens closed means the air was hot and humid, it felt like living in a boiler.
