Predicting Weather By The Moon - Xavier University Libraries

What Causes Weather
travel more to the Arctic if they went anywhere.
Are nests being feathered? In the 1960s geophysicists
believed that with enough resources they could predict
earthquakes, and in 1966 the Japanese government
funded a $270 million per year program. In 1997, after
wasting $2.5 billion dollars on no results, the program was
axed.

WHAT WEATHER ARE WE INTO NOW?
The temperatures in the Pacific Ocean were, at time
of writing of the first edition of this book(1999) still above
the average because the Moon’s restricted movement at
20° north and south of the equator each month; still 3° inside
the tropics and holding the Sun’s heat within that tropical
belt.. At time of writing(2003) temperatures have been
heating up and some regions like the southeast of NZ have
been heating up more as the maximum declination time
approaches. Although dryness is being experienced, winters
are getting milder and summers are becoming cooler.
The NZ National Climate centre said on National Radio
(5/9/96) that parts of New Zealand during the 1996
winter had had their coldest temperatures in decades, some
were record lows. The last period to have conditions which
duplicate the present was in the mid 1970’s when the public
at large was being warned of the coming ‘Ice Age’.
The years when the Moon was at the 28° declination
last century and offering higher temperatures and droughts,
severe in some instances, for a year or two on each side
were; 1914, 1932, 1950, 1968, and 1986. The next hot
years will be near 2,006. The cool years were those near
139
