The Moon And
The Weather

Mrs. w. d. Porter of BarabOO de-
aires to know if the moon has any in
Huence on the weather. According to
ancient myths, the moon was supposed
90 have an influence on the weather,
Gut scientists have later discovered
that the moon has no effect whatever
on weather conditions.

In case the moon caused dry wealth
qar here why would it not be dry in
western Europe and America where it
rains much Of the time? If the moon
caused rain at certain times why
does it not rain over the deserts and
other places where rain is needed?
* 81 -
r.. j. Battles Of BarabOo says that
when the moon is in the north the
weather is invariably cool for the
time of the year, and when far south
che temperature is warm. This is
worth observing.
Not long ago when the moon was
'GcIipsed, sudden hail-stOrm burst in
central Connecticut and spectators
were not slow to conclude the eclipse
oof the moon and the fall Of hail were
u1aauaJly related. Some thought be-
cause the light of the moon was with
drawn from the earth there was a
chill, resulting in the fail Of hail.
More than likely this unusual storm
'will become a tradition.
