Weather By The Moon early morning hours and up to midday, it is usually when the Moon is in the 1 st Quarter. This is the time of the month referred to by the adage ‘rain before seven, over by eleven.’ There should be cloud and rain, if about, only before lunch. Because the atmospheric tide is thinner in the morning during this phase, early morning is the time of greater possibility of a tornado, as well as rain and cloudiness. Rain is less likely in the evening. After midnight there may be some lightning and electrical storms. If it is a 1st quarter Moon in perigee, hurricanes are possible. In the summer, expect clear mornings with dew on the ground, and in winter, cold mornings accompanied by frost and snow. FULL MOON (NIGHT MOON) Full Moon rises around sunset and sets around sunrise Around Full Moon there is a strong poleward transfer of heat to the upper atmosphere, which makes the warmest daily temperature on Earth 0.20 degrees warmer than at New Moon. Also, after Full Moon, as the Moon enters Earth’s magnetic tail, there begins more interference with cosmic radiation. Thunderstorms are frequent a maximum of 2 days after the Full Moon. Most tornadoes occur from Full Moon 170
Predicting until Last Quarter, because this is the time when the Sun applies the most heat to the ground. There is more likelihood of storm activity in general, that is, hurricanes and typhoons, between Full and New Moon than between New and Full. This is a time for mainly daytime cloud and rain. Lower in the sky in summer, the Moon creates an atmospheric tide that is thinner in summer and thinner in the afternoon. It may rain in the early morning, as the Moon sets. Midday may be cloudy and the afternoon may be tornado time in some areas. Rain is less likely in the evening and overnight the sky will probably be clear. Whirlwinds, waterspouts and a heatwave are high possibilities just before the Full Moon in summer. In the winter one can look forward to the prospect of daytime snowstorms. When the Full Moon is in Perigee, there is usually an extra low atmospheric tide effect near midday. If it is summer, very warm temperatures will result. But Moon in apogee at this time can also bring a possible heat wave. At the solstice the weather patterns slow down. LAST (3RD)QUARTER (NIGHT MOON) The Last Quarter Moon rises around midnight 12-1am There is a greater tendency for electrical storms at 171
