My most recent research project is looking at rain records for Sydney since 1980 to find correlations with planetary cycles. Most interestingly, over this 27 year period, the total rain on the dates ten days before each monthly Moon-Uranus conjunction is three standard deviations above average, and almost three standard deviations below average four days before each Moon-Uranus conjunction. This is a highly significant result which suggests a correlation between long term rain rhythms and planetary cycles. Similar but slightly weaker correlations exist between these rain records and the cycles of the moon with other planets. This result could easily be replicated against other long term daily rain records. I have planetary data since 1890, and would welcome the chance to examine other rain datasets. This is a purely astronomical question, looking at the strength of empirical rhythms to help quantify planetary effects.
