Moon Cycles 5 April 2010.wmv

Today's blog is about the moon's main cycles. The 3 main ones are the phase, the declination and the perigee. The phase tells you what time of day rain, if about, will fall. Declination tells you the direction of winds, likely temperature ranges and barometric changes. Perigee tells you about highest tides and potential for exaggeration of weather events, depending on season. Last quarter brings afternoon effects, southern declination brings cold to NZ and warmth to Ireland, and last week's perigee brought Cyclone Paul and snow to the UK.
