Weather By The Moon years called the American Ephemeris. 2. Get in tune with the perigees. If you don’t want to keep referring to a measuring stick, held up to the Moon, information on when to expect its next Perigee can be found in nautical almanacs published by the coastguard, and many Moon calendars. The weather will nearly always turn for the worse at Perigee time, dishing up winds, high swells, high tides, stronger winds and possible gales. For an online free perigee calculator, that you can download to use offline for any date, go to http://www.fourmilab.ch/earthview/pacalc.html 3. Plot and compare past cycles. There are many New/Full Moon cycles. One is called the Metonic and is exactly 19 years, as can be seen by the following two tables in which Full Moons 19 years apart fall on nearly the same day. If the moon causes the weather, then the implication is clear – weather can be predicted by looking back. Weather conditions in the future will be the same as it was in the past where the Moon is worked out to be again in the same place in the sky. In the tables opposite are the dates of all Full Moons over a 19 year period. It is easy to see the 19 year cycle. This means one can only look at weather maps 19 years ago. Also 38 years ago. But it is not the whole story, akthough it will give some indication. Perigees must be also taken into account. However with the 19 year cycle, monthly declinations match, also Moon rise and set times 152
