Flauwekul in de hoogste graad. Het weer kan elke week wel omslaan. Lees :
Let's concentrate on the most important proverb: " the heaviest rain falls following a new or full moon"
Meteorologists of the Dutch Meteoconsult has followed the weather conditions around new and full moon, during three days -- so a day before, during and after the moon phase. -- This research took places during 100 new and full moons; so it took over 8 years -- .
To be short the test was this: the weather around every new and full moon got a mark in the scale from 0 to 10. A clear improvement of the weather (contrary to the proverb) got a "0" . When there was no change a "5" was written down, and a deterioration got a "10". (After all: the last situation is predicted by the proverb.)
When the theses is right the mean of all this marks must have been high. Actually the mean was 5.1; exactly the result you can expect when the weather doesn't care at all about the moon phases.
And the one who thinks logical and down to earth, should be convinced that the moon phases can't influence the weather.
Suppose that the weather really gets worse during new - or full moon.
A full moon in Britain means a full moon around the globe.
It's not necessary to explain that a weather-deterioration in Britain can't also mean a depreciation in the Alps or the Caribbean or Australia.
And that the moon only would influence the weather in Britain is absolutely inexplicable. Thankfully no search to such a strange evidence is needed: it simply can't be true. There's no relation between the moon-phases and the weather.
