Predicting the weather with astronomy - Sky News / ABC Media Watch
Tonight's Media Watch on ABC featured a report on Sky News Australia's
"Outsiders" program that hosted an individual who says that the Earth's
weather can be predicted with astronomy.

Makes sense. My neighbours always check if I'm setting up before taking the clothes off the line.

Not so silly. There is a correlation between moon phase and cloud cover vs clear, established long ago, though it isn't 100%.

And general precipitation and sometimes even snow at star parties.

How did we all miss the fact that when the planets go around to Vega
it causes drought and 180 degrees away from that it causes a flood?
Does this mean we should change the date of the next SPSP?

You might need to watch the video with audio on.
- He's discussing astrology, not astronomy.
- As Gary said, he's discussing planets going around Vega (25 light years away) predicting the weather on earth for the next 1000 years.
- The guy also uses astrology to predict the stock market (I'm being dead serious).
Good to see astrologers gets more climate cred on Sky News than, oh I dunno.... scientists (who discovered electromagnetism and invented the medium Sky News transmits its braindead tosh on). Can't trust those pesky scientists, what with their crazy mathematics and measurements, and due process, and inventions, and whatnot.

Hi Andrew,
Nick was being tongue-in-cheek.
Apparently the Foxtel parent is in financial trouble. It would interesting to hear what David Burton sees in their future.

haha sorry I kinda did get that (I do know Nick and am aware his engineering past )... I just can't stand anything Sky News most especially that the fact that they basically run the bubble encircling our Nation's capital. This is the kinda tosh that is broadcast on every screen in parliament house 24/7.

There's definitely a correlation: every time I set up for the night without bothering to check the weather/CFN first it gets cloudy

There is a half-truth in this over the extremely-long term with respect to climate (as distinct from weather).
The Earth wobbles, thus the tropics shrink and expand over 40,000 years. The affect is that rainfall bands move up and down with the result being that the Sahara Desert can be grasslands, or just sand.
The Earth's orbit is not circular. It is not even a stable ellipse. The orbit goes from being near circular to more elliptical and back to circular over some 100,000 years. This means that the amount of heat from the Sun varies, as the Earth's distance varies more extremely than now during the course of the year; for thousands of years.
Then there's Procession over 26,000 years. I am bit uncertain with my understanding with this one, but it is said to affect climate in the long term.
Then off course, there are geological factors such as plates drifting.
I once read that the first 3 factors will combine to bring on a substantial Ice Age in aprox 60,000 years. (A bit like biorhythms coming together for a triple-critical day).

The orbital forcing of climate is called Milankovitch cycles. See

Funny, mine seem to put their clothes back on and close the blinds whenever they see me out the back. Frustrating!

What do you think the stars can predict?

"It's energy points that line up at certain degrees and Jupiter is the biggest planet and has the greatest magnetic pull"
Well, that explains it, makes perfect sense now, magnets make it rain.

The only way to predict weather changes is to track your joint pain. And it's not a joke at all. Once I was told that barometric pressure goes down when it's raining, so there's less air pressure on your body. That's why the stuff that your joints are surrounded by expands, creating more pressure on your joints, so they hurt. You may laugh at me, but my Chiron Astrology teacher told me that. I mean, I'm an engineer and sometimes I have to do some absolutely opposite things towards my specialization. In short, that's the way I have rest. BW, folks.
