Not just a phase as Ken uses moon to judge sun

Ken Ring, the long-range weather forecaster from New Zealand who uses lunar cycles to predict the weather and earthquakes, first became known to Irish farmers in the summer of 2009.

On Matt Cooper’s TodayFM Last Word programme, he forecast that the “summer” would be two weeks in September.

When his predictions came true, there was massive interest from farmers, and he decided to write a weather almanac for Ireland.
