I can see a 20-odd year cycle in there too but the 50-odd is not
obvious.
What 20-year cycle can you see then, Michael? I can't see anything of
that kind, the only tendency I see is a lack of years with less than 60
hot days in the last decade and a half.
It is only very roughly 20 years.

By the way bear in mind interference patterns where cycles overlap. Like
the nodes in accoustics. With the ideal conditions two opposite nodes
will sometimes cancel each other out, sometimes work to increase the
wave height or trough depth.
(Which explains the missing snow for around 2001.)
There does seem to be a solar max min cycle linked to the period of
lunar nodes. (Lunar nodes are periods when the combination of the 5
degree difference of the lunar orbit combines with the eccliptic to
produce declinations of 23 1/2 degrees plus or minus 5 degrees.*
The periods are not identical but are related -I think in some way. No
scientific reason for my belief. It just seems that way in a way I can
not explain. Perhaps I have one of those "savant" thingumie problems.)
*That's with a nautical almanack not an astronomical one. (I can't make
head or tail of an astronomical almanack. There's that savant thing
again I suppose.
I just can't "see" what the numbers mean in one of those. That's
probably one of the reasons I can't understand maths. I have to be able
to "see" what the numbers mean. I'm barely competent when it's apples
and pears but a square root of a fiver is just beyond my grasp.)
Or, as has been insinuated elsewhere, I may just be delusional. But I
think I can see where things are at with a nautical almanack. Like you
can reach into sand and know there is a stone or a shell in there. The
trouble is sometimes they turn out to be empty tins or lollypop sticks.
What do you think? Am I off my trolley?
