Flaming June, threw a looking glass, darkly.

JUNE 3 23 06 This one aught to be really nice.
JUNE 11 18 03 And this one will see the first of the hurricanes or at
least a severe tropical storm.
JUNE 18 14 08 And this one will be another fine one.
This last one if I am not being a little previous with it, seems to
pull them all together.
If you look at the first one I gave (the phases for 27th May) the
timing was half an hour off for the really good stuff (for lovers of
good stuff that is) so that the weather was a little on the damp side,
with an High just off to the west.
If as it seems to me now at last, the time of the phase for the wettest
weather (that is the centre of a Low to be over the UK) is at half
past: one, three or six o'clock and the centre of an High is over the
UK at five or eleven -on the hour:
The centre of an High is not going to be over the UK at four or eight
o'clock but will be (more likely) to throw a wet spell out into the
Atlantic by half an hour.
The pressure system involved is one that is related to a Low that would
have developed over the UK, had the time of the phase been half an our
earlier.
In this case, not a humid one.
Lows in the Atlantic can bring fine weather and it is remarkable how
much this depends on the declination of the moon with this type of
spell. If the Low is far to the north, anywhere near the fishing banks:
SE Iceland to Hebrides especially (YMWV oc) it will provide sunny-ish
weather -for the most part, for my region.
If the Low comes down to Shannon (or Malin even (though that would be
over the UK as Malin is the mouth of the Irish Sea from the Hebrides to
Western Irelad in) ...it will bring more rain.
Should it come lower the lows will tend to cross the UK in heavy burss
but tend to last only a short while. It used to be thought that Low
Pressure Areas in temperate zones were short lived compared to
anticyclones.
Such is not the case.
