The rising or the setting of the sun or moon, especially the moon, will be followed by a decrease of a storm which is then prevailing.
Saturday Moon.
A Saturday moon, if it comes once in seven years, it comes too soon. A Friday’s moon, come when it will, comes too soon.
Saturday Change.
One Saturday change in the moon is enough, as it is always followed by a severe storm.
Stormy, Wet Weather.
If there be a change from continued stormy or wet to clear and dry weather at the time of a new or full moon, and so remains until the second day of the new or full moon, it will probably remain fine till the following quarter; and if it changes not then, or only for a short time, it usually lasts until the following new or full moon; and if it does not change then, or only for a very short time, it will probably remain fine and dry for four or five weeks.
Threatening Clouds.
Threatening clouds, without rain, in old moon indicate drought.
Thursday.
