The tsunami and the moon
|
| |
An earthquake near Chile measured 8.8 on the Richter scale. It was shallow enough to send a ripple across the ocean towards NZ. Tsunami risks for NZ only come from the east. It is no coincidence that the moon is far closer to us right now.

Welcome to our new website
|
| |
On this website you will not find descriptions like "it was warmer because there was high pressure". We will tell you the real reasons for weather events, and mostly they are due to the position of the moon. Some call it astrology but it is really an older form of astronomy. There are many articles here about how the moon does it; basically the same pulling force that hauls tides also hauls air. The ideas may sound new but they are actually very old.

Ireland and UK weather
|
| |
The best summer weather is likely to be short this year, spanning only from the last part of May to early June and from the last week in June to mid July.
There should be plenty of rain again, but at least some summer days when they are usually expected.

The Moon and the Water Table
|
| |
When the tide is high at the coast it is also high in the water table under the ground. By keeping an eye on the tidal variation we can determine how much to irrigate plants.

The turning of the tide
|
| |
The world's leading economies, who couldn't agree on any actual policy on climate change at the G-8 Summit in Italy last July, opted instead to command the clouds, the seas and all of the Earth to cool, with a decree “the increase in global average temperature above pre-industrial levels shall not exceed 2 degrees [Celsius]”. Doesn’t this sound a bit like the vain attempts of King Canute to stop the waves?

Is The Weather Fickle, or Just the Forecasters?
|
| |
The country’s meteorologists seem to be reacting to weather rather than predicting it and saying its getting more unpredictable. Should we now wait nervously for the next lot of bizarre weather behaviour to descend on us? Lets not forget the Grand Weather Cycles…!

Here Comes The Sun (spots)
|
| |
The tide of increased electromagnetic intensity on the Sun is stirring back into life. Black mole-like marks called ‘sunspots’, in reality regions of strong magnetic field, are re-gathering on the Sun's surface after a long absence.

Times and tides
|
| |
Not only do the oceans have tides, but the Earth (Land) also does, with a visco-elastic deformation of the earth under the action of the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. Here are some observations and folklores to think about.

Threat to Freedom: global warning
|
| |
The world is now divided between those who think Nature causes weather and those who believe that man and his emissions are responsible for all the current catastrophes and that and freakish weather was never experienced before. Why is open debate not allowed anymore?
