Rather long and old hat but bear with me:
A phase at midday or midnight indicates a misty cool spell of clam weather with any winds coming from the north or east. This is true, too, for times at 6 o'clock. The pressure system is stalled with Lows and Highs in almost equal number surrounding Britain and the overall pressure something like 1016 millibars. Going back one hour to 11 o'clock (or 5) the weather in Britain tends to be fine. Cold nights and sunny days with little cloud. Back another hour and the weather tends to be unsettled with ridges or troughs (spurs from High or Low pressure areas) intruding. Those spells are likely to bring volcanic activity earth wide. Which in turn aught to mean that the pressure in the North Atlantic at least (I can't really comment on the North Pacific) should be slack. That is, the Low pressure areas not very low and the Highs not very high. With lunar phases at around 9 or 3 o'clock there should be a lot of thunder about Britain. (Not that much as other countries go but for us any thunderstorm is to be savoured.) 8 and 2 o'clock phases should bring tornadoes to the US Midwest. (Actually it should bring a series of nation wide storms there starting in the NW and moving to the east in summer further south in winter.) In Britain we tend to get ridges and troughs again but the clouds betraying the weather are more like the ones associated with derecho winds in North America; long cylindrical striations usually stretching from hill to hill often crossing the horizon. And with the phases at 1 o'clock and at 7 o'clock we get weather from the Atlantic proper. Driving rain and windy stuff. Lots of it. OK. That was the easy bit. Now let's look at the permutations. |
