Time for a worked example. Let's see if we can find a storm that hit
high on the SF scale and a phase similar to today's:

1st. December 2007 Second (or Last) Quarter 12:44.
So we want a phase at about quarter to one am or pm. How about last
July/August:
30th July 2007. Full Moon 00:48.
Then there was 11th September 12:44 that was bang on only nearer an
equinox than a solstice (not that I know what difference that makes.)

See also 28th February, last year; 2nd April and 16th November 2005;

30th July to 5th August 2007. (7/30 - 8/5 in American. Splendid
resources, ghastly calendar.)

11th to 19th.September 2007. (9/11 - 19.)

YAGI 17th to 24th Category 5 NWPacific.

HELENE 12th to 24th Category 3 Atlantic.

04A-06 21st to 22nd. Tropical Storm N Indian.

GORDON 10th to 20th. Category 3. Atlantic

The time of this spell is a wet one. It will also produce or tend to
produce hurricanes in the North Atlantic Season.

Background noise is only slightly above average with more than 3 or 4
earthquakes in the 5.5M range. This is allowing the lunar phase to do
its job properly and supply us with British winter weather that is not
too cold but is very wet.
