weather by the moon Ken Ring’s predictions for November November is a drier than average month, cooler, and with average sunshine. The first week will be the warmest and brings most rain, the second week sees most sunshine, the fourth week is the coolest, and the last week is the driest. The best weekend is the 14th-15th. Atmospheric pressures should average about 1012mbs, with winds from the southwest or west on about 18 days. For fishermen, the highest king tide may be around the 16th. The best fishing bite-times in the west are around noon on the 1st-2nd, 14th-16th, and 29th-30th (and in the east around dusk on those days). Chances are also good in the west for dusk of the 7th-9th and 20th-23rd (and in the east around noon on those days). For gardeners, the best pruning days are the 2nd-5th (waning moon descending), and 16th-18th are best sowing days (waxing moon ascending). For longer shelf-life for crops, harvest at neap tide days on the 9th and 24th. Allow 24 hour error for all forecasting.
