Of course that is because I have no means of taking into account what
effect earthquakes or (as in this case) typhoons have.

Some parts of the UK were inundated with heavy rain at the change of the
weather spells. It will be interesting to see how the change is
affected by what phenomenon -or even phenomena, in December.*

Meanwhile little volcanic activity was reported for 19-25 November 2003
by the Smithsonian Institute:

The Weekly Volcanic Activity Report does not necessarily include all
volcanic activity that occurred on Earth during the week. More than a
dozen volcanoes globally have displayed more-or-less continuous eruptive
activity for decades or longer, and such routine activity is typically
not reported here. Moreover, Earth's sea-floor volcanism is seldom
reported even though in theory it represents the single most prolific
source of erupted material.

*The lunar phases for this weather run together in this manner:

Month. Day. Hour. Minute. Incredible oversimplification of the
blindingly obvious (but for many centuries ignored method for
forecasting) terrestrial phenomena.

NOV. 23 22 59. NOV. 30 17 16.= Fine weather, the latter being somewhat
windy.

DEC. 8 20 37. DEC. 16 17 42.= Similar to each other but I don't know
enough to comment on the behaviour of ridges and troughs. If it (or
rather they) produce ridges of high pressure then the previous two
phases combine to produce some interesting cold dry weather in the UK.

DEC. 23 9 43. This one is similar to the following, perhaps a
little breezier:
  
DEC. 30 10 03.= Classically this one brings wet weather.

JAN. 7 15 40.= This one is an awkward one as it lies on the cusp, as it
were, of the timing for those difficult ridges and troughs again and yet
seems also to be well on the way to wet and windy.

JAN. 15 4 46.= Fine if breezy weather once more.

So, the reason I post this eccentric look at the moon on an earthquakes
newsgroup:

Look out for more extremes at the end of the first week in December; the
third week in December and at the end of the first week in January.
