And God said,
Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night;
and let them be for signs,
and for seasons, and for days, and years.
The Holy Bible, Genesis 1:14

My life's work began with an indicator I discovered on November 19, 1980 called The Berg Timer.
BT is defined as the number of times that two planets are equidistant from a third,
with respect to their heliocentric (sun-centered) longitudes.
This website contains my ongoing research that followed that discovery.
For instance,
BT can reliably forecast the weather for any place on Earth, and even some of the other planets, any time in the future,
and human behavior, from daily traffic accidents, to crime, to the stock market,
to even when wars are most likely to occur.

~ Just Good Timing since 1981 ~

What Is The Berg Timer . . .
It's the clock of a planet's journey, and a volcano's fury.
All Nature's rhythm, inspiration given.
Man's precision from His vision.
When everything happens.
A gift of the heavens.

Major forecasts and current results
The 2020's GLOBAL DROUGHT
The Forecast ---  The July 2012 issue of  The Whole Earth Forecaster showed a chart of the similarity between the Berg Timer during the Dustbowl 1930's and the 2020's.  Thus the forecast was made for "another major drought during the 2020's".
The Result ---  Major World Drought started 2020.  The L.A.Times headline on July 16, 2021 was, "The Current Drought is Worldwide". Then it reads, "No continent, except Antarctica, has been spared".  
The original drought article of 2012 and more about the drought can be read by clicking the Drought/Weather links below.

The 2020's STOCK MARKET
The Forecast  ---  The March 18, 2020 issue of  The Whole Earth Forecaster read "So, be a buyer during this virus sell off and a seller in 2021.  Expect a major market peak in 2021. Then a weak market until 2028".  
The Result  ---  The Dow on March 23, 2020 bottomed at 18,592 and on November 8, 2021 peaked at 36,432.
The Dow as of June 17, 2022 is at 29,888.  As of  May 24, 2023 it's at 32,800.

Below, an owner of the Berg Timer software tells how it helps him and his friend plan irrigation strategy on his dairy farm.
Precipitation most often occurs in one's area just before and/or after strong Berg Timer days.  The exact day(s) of your precipitation depends upon your location.  For specific instructions it's best to go to Weather Forecasting.  
July 29, 2022
Hi Larry,
I thought you'd be interested to see BT at work from the Southern Hemisphere.
Based on my dairy farming interests, regular rainfall is a desirable commodity and a great test for BT.
Key results
1. For our location in the island, BT was consistently able to forecast rainfronts, summer dry and also the return of autumn rains the last 3 seasons.  The cause and effect was rain after BT so quite straight forward.
2. For a friend with dairy investments in Victoria Australia, I used BT to gain 86% weekly accuracy for an irrigation strategy plan.  The goal was to provide key milestones for irrigation - buying water on the spot market is very expensive.  With some experience, I found that weekly BT worked best for timing.  
Just as you showed in your Sydney charts following the bushfires, after major drought the turnaround in rainfall has been amazing on the eastern Australian seaboard.
A huge learning I learnt from your weather profiles was the before and after strong BT cycle of weather.  It's an amazing insight that has forever changed for the better my understanding and enjoyment of our weather.
Very impressive.  I'm very grateful for verifying for myself BT's local influence.
cheers
H. M.
New Zealand
Thanks H..  I'm glad I could help you with your dairy farm water management.  Below is a chart showing how the daily Berg Timer correlates with the daily total of New Zealand's precipitation.  You can see the effect that BT has with precipitation occurring most often just before and after strong BT.  Very interesting isn't it.  Regards . . . Larry

Research and Comments - from the beginning
11/14/2018 --- DROUGHT - Massive, deadly, historic California fires a part of the long ago forecasted drought for the 2020's.  Droughts typically creep up on you over several years.  Then all of a sudden it's a major drought like the dustbowl 1930's.  See current  U.S. Drought Chart.
11/20 --- CALIFORNIA PRECIP - BT profile for N. California peaks this Fri/Sat Nov. 23-24, correctly forecasting the 1-7 inch total precip expected for that area.
11/26 --- AIRLINE DELAY - The profile for Travel Delays peaks on day -4 which was on Sunday, November 25.  As reported by ABC News: "Travelers going in and out of some Midwestern cities this Sunday are experiencing flight delays and cancellations on one of the busiest travel days of the year, with 15 states under a weather alert due to winter storm and blizzard warnings.".  
Also, the United States Precipitation profile peaks on day -4.  Those two profiles together screamed "don't travel now".
12/2/18 --- OCEAN CURRENTS - Getting close to finishing ocean study.  The only places where ocean height doesn't cycle with the profiles are the coastal areas where the five major currents of the world (N & S Atlantic, N & S Pacific, and Indian ocean currents) hit the continents  Understandable.
12/10 --- WINTER STORM - BT correctly forecasted the major winter storm causing widespread airline delays.  See Airline Delays profile details here which peaked twice on the day of Sunday's blizzard.  As reported by USA Today, "American Airlines said it has proactively canceled 1,100 Sunday flights because of the storm. That is on top of 225 cancellations on Saturday.
The cancellations are now expected to spill into Monday, with American saying late Saturday that 300 Monday flights have been canceled."  Power outages to over 160,000 in the Carolinas.  
12/11/18 --- MERCURY DEW PT. - I've reported how BT can forecast Mars wind speed and Moonquakes.  I've also found correlations to Mercury's Dew Point and H20 Partial Pressure.  So much going on.  Like I've always said, researching the Berg Timer is like having a tiger by the tail.
12/13 --- OCEAN HEIGHT - Finding that the oceans rise and fall in a 25-day rhythm according to the Berg Timer.  There are lots of studies finding a 50-day rhythm which might simply be an extension of the 25-day rhythm (D. Djurovic, P. Paquet 1991 Royal Meteorological Society and The "Madden and Julian Oscillation" 1971 widely referenced).  However a 25-day rhythm has been found (Bizouaid and L. Seoane Atmospheric and Oceanic Forcing 2009).  Looks like climate modelers have found the BT rhythm by going in the back door and now they know the 'why'.  
12/25/18 --- U.S. PRECIPITATION map charts now available, historical and forecasts.  See here.
1/11/2019 --- I have several things still on the burner.  Ocean study including height/temperature/speed/direction correlations.  Atmospheric angular momentum.  Also the Planet Mercury's dew point . . . good to know if we need to equip a Lander with windshield wipers, seriously.
1/23 --- The BT Precipitation forecast maps are doing very well.  The forecast map and travel delay info is published there now for the Super Bowl.  
2/16 --- LONG TERM TEMP - I'm calculating BT back to year 1000 to confirm a newly discovered BT/long term temperature correlation.
2/22 --- LONG TERM TEMP - BT from year 300 to 2100 published today.  Highest two BT peaks at beginning of Medeival Warm Period and Modern Warm Period.  The study is here.
3/17/19 --- U.S. TEMP UPDATED - Went over the whole website today and updated some of the charts and also checked out some links and improved them if possible if the old one was inactive.  Yearly U.S. temperature was updated.
4/5 --- Precipitation Forecast Maps now available through to April 30.
4/13 --- BT UPDATE - The daily Berg Timer numbers through July 2019 are now available on the Forecasting Page.  Also available there are the Profile Numbers to find out the probable airline travel delay days for your Spring-Summer travel.  It really works!   
4/16 --- Introducing MONTHLY Berg Timer Profiles!  The first long term studies using monthly profiles has been finished on Global Sea Ice Extents. 'sea' below.  It confirms the 1700 year temperature study shown directly below.
4/27/19 --- GLOBAL TEMPERATURE - 11:45 AM.  Discovery!  After making monthly profiles of global land and ocean temperature I found that the temperature profiles for North Hemisphere Land and South Hemisphere Ocean correlate almost perfectly.  And, vice versa, North Ocean and South Land are also the same.  Go figure.  What an interesting correlation.  The profiles' data used was from 1968 to 2007.  Data sources for land and sea are different which adds to its credibility.  Sources http://berkeleyearth.org/data/ for land temperature and https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/ for sea surface temperature.  The new monthly profiles will lead to many new long term correlations/forecasting for BT.  Yearly profiles will confirm BT's daily and monthly studies.  Finally putting it all together after 40 years of work.
4/29/19 --- GLOBAL TEMP PROFILES - Above are the previously mentioned correlations between N&S Hemispheres Land and Ocean Temperatures.  Why the North-Land/South Ocean and North-Ocean/South Land correlation?  One can only conclude that the larger areas prevail.  The north land area is larger than the north ocean and the south oceans' area is larger than the south lands.  So the two larger areas, the north lands and the south oceans hook up with the lesser areas.  I've never heard or read of this correlation before.  Of course, there may be an oceanographer who knows immediately how to explain this, maybe not.  If so, please let me know.  Looks entirely new.
5/7 --- NEW HURRICANE PROFILE! -  All Atlantic hurricanes from 2006 through 2017 were logged with their date and wind speeds.  Then this data was correlated with respect to daily Berg Timer.  That produced the BT Hurricane Profiles below which show the best and worst times to be in the Caribbean during hurricane season.  You might want to put a copy of this with your vacation literature.
Of course, this is best used only for planning during the Atlantic hurricane season which is from June 1 to November 30.

Atlantic Hurricanes during 2006 to 2017

The hurricane study done in 2004 is still available on the Natural Disasters page.  That covered the period of 1999 to 2004.  
It found that hurricanes started forming when the Berg Timer was '5' strength or more and that their maximum wind strength occurred within 8 days after that.
Those findings hold up with these new profiles.
Hurricanes are least likely before day '0' (which is when BT >6 strength) and most likely after '0'.  The same goes for wind speed.
5/12/19 --- COSMIC RAYS Correction . . . The satellite was changed for the Cosmic Ray historical data causing a column change in the data.  So the Electron data was incorrectly displayed as Neutron data.  The corrected chart and info is below in The Sequence No. 6.
5/17 --- WILD & CRAZY - There are 4 days with Berg Timer strength of '7' or higher in the first nine days of June.  Should be a wild and crazy period from the last week of May through the first couple weeks of June.  June 7 is an especially strong '14' strength.  Drive carefully.  
6/2 --- Hang in there.  Only a couple weeks left of this especially messy and dangerous weather.  Precip weather map forecasts updated to July 1.
6/4/19 --- HURRICANE FORECAST - BT is greater than '6' strength on August 11, 21, 27 and September 8.  So that's when Atlantic hurricanes are most likely to start development as tropical depressions.  They typically attain maximum wind speed about 8 days later in each instance.  So if planning a trip to the Caribbean your best luck for good weather is the week before each of those strong BT days.  Every hurricane's wind speed relative to BT was charted from 2000-04 in my early research on this subject.  For that click here BT and Atlantic Hurricanes.  
6/15 --- HURRICANE FORECASTS COMBINED - Here's a total hurricane/wind speed forecast chart.  To do that I combined the expected hurricanes' wind speeds based on the Hurricane Wind Speed Profile shown above in 5/7. It's based on the four hurricane dates of Aug 11, 21, 27 and Sept 8.  September BT is very weak after the Sept 8.  Middle of August to the first week in Sept is the time of greatest probability of hurricane damage.
   Addendum --- 9/15  The underlined forecast just above correctly forecasted hurricane Dorian's tragedy.  Also see here how the rare July hurricane Barry was correctly forecasted.
6/16/19 --- DISCOVERY!  MONTHLY GEOMAGNETISM PEAKS WITH STRONG BT, just like the daily does.  Short term Earth magnetic field fluctuations are often caused by solar activity.  Below is monthly Berg Timer and geomagnetism from 1968 to 2011.  Geomagnetism most often peaks when BT peaks.  It also shows a longer-term correlation . . . geomagnetism moves down from 2004 to 2011 the same as the fading downward movement of weakening BT.  
Magnetic storms are monitored by NOAA in order to warn of possible power surges or disruption in power lines, radio, satellite, telephone, and military early warning/detection/navigation, induced currents in pipelines, and radiation on aircraft and astronauts, not to mention orientation of whales, birds, bees, and even movement of microscopic bacteria.  Geologic surveyors actually look forward to these magnetic storms in order to better sense subsurface oil and mineral structures.
BT forecasts are a good thing to know to be prepared for these storms.
Below left monthly Geomagnetism and Sunspots peak at -2 to 1 month when monthly BT is strongest.
Below right daily Geomagnetism makes a rolling peak at -2 to 0 when daily BT is strongest.

The Berg Timer and the Solar Storm of August 1972

The powerful solar storms of early August 1972 were intense solar flares and particle events with major geomagnetic storms.

Flares were first reported August 2. Radio and satellite blackouts started immediately.
An August 4 flare was among the largest documented in history generating X-ray emissions above background level for more than 16 hours.
The geomagnetic storm caused widespread electrical grid and satellite disturbances throughout Canada and North America, the Phillipines, Brazil, and Japan.  As many as 4,000 naval mines exploded in Haiphong Vietnam.
Navy investigators at the NOAA Space Environment Center confirmed that the geomagnetic intensity was enough to cause such explosions.
Regardless of location, some astronauts without complete shielding or moonwalkers would have faced certain death due to the radiation, cancer being unavoidable.

7/4/19 --- DISCOVERY!  YEARLY BT/GEOMAGNETISM CONFIRMS MONTHLY and DAILY - The 6/16 entry demonstrated how monthly Berg Timer shared peaks and bottoms with geomagnetism.  Below is yearly BT and geomagnetism.
2-year BT and yearly geomagnetism are  almost identical.  This confirms BT's ability to forecast long term sunspots since geomagnetism closely follows the solar cycle.  Earlier on this website: Yearly BT was shown to be very low during the famous Maunder Minimum of the 1600's when there were no sunspots.   
7/23/19 --- BT FORECASTS JULY HURRICANE!
On July 8 the Berg Timer hits a very strong '12' strength.  
On July 9 the weather system developed a broad area of low pressure over the eastern Florida Panhandle.  A day later, on July 10, the broad low-pressure system emerged from the Florida Panhandle into Apalachee Bay in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico.  
On July 11 NHC reports "the NHC upgraded the system to Tropical Storm Barry at 15:00 UTC on July 11".  
On July 13 NHC reports "Barry became a hurricane around 11-12Z", making landfall later that day.
On July 14 Barry progressed farther inland weakening into a tropical depression at 21:00 UTC on July 14 over northwestern Louisiana.
As discussed above in 6/4, hurricanes typically start to develop as tropical cyclones/depressions on high BT days.  Then they reach highest wind speed about 8 days later.  Barry reached peak strength on July 13, five days after strong BT.
BT was also correct in its forecast for rainfall in the gulf area states with its precipitation maps.
Precipitation maps are available up through August 14 on the maps page.

7/30/19 --- UDATED YEARLY WORLD EARTHQUAKES with some interesting observations.   
8/11 --- PRECIPITATION MAPS UPDATED TO SEPTEMBER 1.
8/18 --- CALIFORNIA QUAKE PROFILE This new daily profile has been extended to 17 days before and after strong BT (day '0').  Most important days to watch out for quake likelihood are 7 to 8 days before and 12 days after strong BT, day '0'.
Great information for those living in quake-sensitive areas.
8/25/19 --- THE BERG TIMER UPDATED THROUGH NOVEMBER.  Five Strong BT days in the period October 27 to November 15 could mean a late season Hurricane and/or early season Winter Storm.
8/30/19 --- HURRICANE UPDATE.  Appears that BT helped me make the following on-the-mark hurricane forecast on 6/15 above which was, "Middle of August to the first week in Sept is the time of greatest probability of hurricane damage.".  
A quiet period expected from September 17 to October 2.  
9/12/19 --- DATA SOURCES UPDATED & ADDED.  Government and academic science data pages come and go as programs end and begin.  So I've updated and added to the Data Sources at the bottom of this page.  Seeing some new data on the interplanetary magnetic field, moonquakes/marsquakes/earthquakes, traffic accidents, and crime.  Calls for some new work.
9/28/19 --- GLOBAL TEMPERATURE IS PEAKING IN 2020.  A Berg Timer pattern has been found which gives us good reason to expect a major peak of global temperature in 2020 with a bottom in the mid to late 2060's.  See explanation below the 1400 year study directly below showing that the largest extremes of BT occur at historic global temperature lows.
El Nino correlation updated.  Late season tropical depression formation possible late October and mid November with max winds, as always. 8 days later.

Berg Timer Forecasts Major Global Temperature Peak in 2020
Bottom mid to late 2060's
See the details of this 1400 year discovery below.

Microsoft Excel ChartTemperature data source: http://www.meteo.psu.edu/holocene/public_html/supplements/MultiproxyMeans07/  (directly to data: data).   Updated: data

The strongest yearly extremes of the Berg Timer mark significant lows in temperature.  The two strongest BT extremes of 949 and 1982 are major temperature lows, 949 being the beginning of the Medieval Warming Period and 1982 the low of the beginning of the longest upward trend of the current Modern Warm Period.
Note also the absence of strong BT from 1520 to the late 1700's called "The Little Ice Age".  This low BT period also coincides with the famous Maunder Minimum when almost no sunspots occurred and during which the world was colder than any other 1400 year period.  This cold period ended precisely with the third strongest BT in 1845, the absolute lowest temperature in 1400 years and the beginning of the Industrial Revolution and the Modern Warm Period.  I hope to do a study way back using ice core data to see if these findings hold up.
We are now just .3 tenths of a degree celsius warmer than the previous highest temperature in the year 970.

History Repeating Says Major Global Temperature Peak in 2020
Below is Global Temperature and Berg Timer from 1820 to 2020.  Note the two periods of the Berg Timer that are very similar.  The earlier period made a 30 year peak in 1881.  The current warming pattern peaked in 2016-2020.
 
10/2/19 ---  THE ECONOMY.  As forecasted in 2015 and repeated in 2018, the "retraction" of the stock market in 2019 has arrived with the announcements of factory slowdowns and lower jobs than expected.  But 2020 and 2021 look good, as shown in the published stock market forecast to 2025.
10/13/19 ---  PRECIPITATION TO OCT 31.  It's been relatively calm weather with no threatening hurricanes since mid-September as BT forecasted.  Strong BT coming up so weather should be likely starting about October 20.  The maps are full of rain areas from then until late November.  Should be calm from late November to mid-December.  
   LATE SEASON HURRICANE POSSIBLE - Hurricanes begin during the season within a couple days of BT hitting '5' or more in strength, that being a tropical depression.  Then highest winds within 8 days of that.  Late October and mid-November are bringing strong BT which could whip up a couple late-season hurricanes.  If a hurricane forms, maximum winds would be expected within 8 days (which is always the rule).    
   
11/11/19 --- CALIFORNIA QUAKES >4.9 IN 2019 -  So far in 2019 there have been six earthquakes at or greater than 5.0 occurring in California, one on July 4 and July 5, three on July 6 and one on August 22.  All the July quakes occurred within two days of the peak in the Cal quake profile with three exactly on the July 6 profile peak, including a 7.1 strength.  The BT profile for California successfully and accurately forecasted the high probability for strong quakes in July of 2019.

The first two earthquakes occurred in Searles Valley near the edge of Death Valley National Park.  The strongest one on the 6th occurred during the Ridgecrest Earthquake Sequence that started with the 6.4 quake on July 4th with more than 100,000 aftershocks rattling most of Southern California.  There were eight events greater than 3.9.  The last two on July 6 occurred along the Little Lake fault zone.
Future Cal Quake profile peaks can be monitored by using daily BT.  Profile peaks occur 7 and 8 days before the daily Berg Timer hits a strength of  '7' or more.

11/20/19 --- U.S. LIGHTNING PROFILE COMPLETED.  See how the Berg Timer can forecast lightning outbreaks.
11/27/19 --- LARGE WINTER WEATHER SYSTEM FORECASTED BY BT.  Snarled traffic, heavy snow, and strong winds gripped a large swath of the U.S. from California east to the upper Midwest during the days before Thanksgiving.  Below are the BT forecasts showing strong Berg Timer for these areas and actual outcomes of precipitation for these days.

11/28/19 --- HAPPY THANKSGIVING!  MY GIFT TO YOU . . . HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN BT PRECIPITATION MAP.
If you want to find out if your state has a high probability for precipitation on a particular future day you can refer to the BT Mapping Table on the map page.  There you will find the directions for future precipitation mapping.
12/10/19 --- PRECIPITATION MAPS FROM DECEMBER 20-31 ARE NOW PUBLISHED ON THE PRECIPITATION PAGE.
Looks like stormy weather will be moving into the Northwest on December 22.  Then moving east into the upper Midwest by December 24-25, then fizzles out in the Northeast on the 27th.  Then another system develops in Nebraska area and moves east covering the whole East Central area from north to south by year end.  Slippery New Year there!
12/24/19 --- MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANUKKAH, UNIFYING KWANZAA, and good wishes to all. Peace to all during this season and all seasons for everyone, all around this great big beautiful world.
1/1/2020 --- HAPPY NEW YEAR!  May your new year be full of love, joy, and happiness.
1/2/20 --- AUSTRALIA BURNING AND INDONESIA FLOODING.  12 million acres burning, the size of Connecticut.  17 people have died.  Looks like an obvious El Nino connection.  Berg Timer has a very strong connection to El Nino which has been updated and which can be seen here.  
1/4/20 --- HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, MY DAD, AND MY SON (within one hour of my birth time).  
All natural births, second borns.  One in 48,627,125 chance of that happening (365x365x365), not counting sex or birth order.  
Just good timing.  
1/10/20 --- TORNADOES ARE HIGHLY PROBABLE WHEN BT IS '7' STRENGTH OR MORE and also on the day before.  The future days from Jan to March are Jan 8-9 and 18-19, Feb 14-15 and 20-21, Mar 6-7. No strong BT days in April.  
*late note - Some very rare Winter tornadoes occurred January 10 and 11 of 2020 in the SE U.S..  Strong BT during these Winter days most often cause Winter Storms and Blizzards due to a downward plunge of the Jet Stream from Canada.  During the Spring and Summer months these strong BT days result in Low Pressure fronts moving eastward out of the Rocky Mountains into the Midwest and then sometimes as far as the Deep South.
2/9/20 ---  AUSTRALIA RAINFALL WILL INCREASE NOW TO 2022.  It's estimated that fire has devastated at least 46 million acres in Australia this year with more than 2,600 homes and 6,000 buildings destroyed.
Below see the very weak BT in 2019 coinciding with the very low Australian precipitation.  The same happened at least seven times since 1955.  There's been sustained low BT since 1999 with equally low rainfall.  This is evidence that the world has been in a continuing dry, warm period accelerated by yearly lows of BT (planetary symmetry) since 1999.  
Hope is coming with strong BT forecasting higher rainfall this year through to 2022.  As my major 1400 year study above in the 9/28 entry shows, we are now experiencing a major long term peak in global temperature.  The decline of temperature should last until the 2060's.

2/19/20 ---  SUPER TUESDAY, MARCH 3, WEATHER FORECAST.  The Berg Timer precipitation forecast map for the primary election day shows a high probability for stormy weather in and around almost all of the election states.  Below is the map compared to the election states.  The only election state that looks clear is Minnesota.  Weather could definitely be a factor in voter turnout.   
2/25/20 ---  ELECTION DAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2020, WEATHER FORECAST COURTESY OF THE BERG TIMER.
You'll only find it here folks . . . an accurate U.S. weather forecast 8 months ahead of the presidential election.  And what a valuable tool this can be.  Campaigns can plan in advance to put extra assets and effort into getting out the vote in areas with severe weather.  In this case the weather outlook for the whole country looks like it'll be a mess.  So it'll be even more important than usual for the campaigns to prepare for bad weather.  The worst areas should be from New Mexico spreading all the way to New York, and from S. California to Washington.  The only areas that might be spared will be Colorado and South Carolina.  But this weather forecast is so broad that it should be assumed to be affecting everywhere.
The campaigns that prepare for this mess might well mean the difference between victory and defeat.

3/15/20 ---  INFLUENZA & PNEUMONIA DEATHS FORECASTED BY BERG TIMER.  Seventeen years ago I did a study showing that weekly U.S. flu and pneumona deaths fluctuate positively with weekly BT.  It's published on the Behavior Page.  I'm working on a monthly and yearly analysis since it's usually the case with most indices that a positive correlation with daily or weekly BT is also positive with monthly and yearly time frames.
The coronavirus is hitting us now in 2020, a very strong BT year, the strongest yearly BT since 1982.  So it proves another instance of BT's ability to forecast the natural cycles of our environment.
The weekly BT/Influenza and Pheumonia Deaths chart of 2002-2003, which is published on the Behavior Page, is repeated below.
Microsoft Excel Chart

3/23/20 --- CORONAVIRUS FORECAST --- IT MIGHT BE A LONG YEAR.  As shown above, the weekly Berg Timer can forecast influenza with pretty good accuracy.  So below is weekly BT's forecast for 2020-21.  BT forecasts influenza in 2020 to decline into May 20 then up to June 10.
The extent and severity of this crisis I think depends on how we respond to it.  If we stay away from crowds, not spread it around any further, and keep our hands clean, we should be able to control it.  But as BT is warning, the atmospherics are, and will continue to be advantageous for the production of strong viral activity all year long.  You can see below how influenza deaths increase when BT is strong.  BT is  VERY strong in 2020 and 2021 so avoid unnecessary public contact, get immunized when available and stay clean.

4/7/2020 ---  BT'S PROFILE OF INFLUENZA CLARIFIES ITS FORECAST
I found daily influenza data.  Most all agencies use weekly time frames to present their data. Daily data is the best time frame to use for profiles.  You then know how something will behave on weekly, monthly, and yearly time frames.  The daily profile for influenza shows that it historically bottoms eleven days prior to when BT is greater than '6' strength, day '0'.  Then influenza starts to rise, making another bottom at day '8', then continuing its rise to day '15'.  Below is the daily BT profile of Influenza Deaths.
Below is weekly Influenza and weekly Berg Timer for 2020-2021.  BT has been lagged 2 weeks because the Flu Profile shows that Influenza peaks two weeks after strong BT, day '0'.
From the strength of BT coming up it can't be denied that this is an unusually strong period of virus-friendly atmospherics.  I think it would be a mistake to lighten up on our social restrictions, thinking it's all over at the first sign of a decline.  It's capable of reasserting itself after a slowdown.   A very strong year of flu is ahead in 2020.

4/20/2020 ---  CORONAVIRUS MOVING DOWN.  The chart above has been updated to April 16.  The weekly Berg Timer forecasts further declines until May 20.  Then a lot of ups and downs to year end.  Quite a lot of optimism around but it's really not time to start everything back up again, not yet.  BT shows strong volatility for the rest of the year with definite highs and lows, showing the need for patience during the coming months.
4/23/2020 ---  BT SAYS STRONG TORNADO SEASON NOW UNTIL JUNE 2.  Below is an extended updated BT Profile for Tornadoes, Behavior of tornadoes 25 days before and after when BT is greater than 6 strength.  Tornadoes are most frequent during the 24 days before strong BT.  Then they immediately fall in frequency after day '0' with two strong days, 20 and 21 later.
See below, lots of strong daily BT days coming up . . . seven days at 7 strength or above from May 14 to June 2.  Looking at the profile there is a high probability for tornadoes at days -21, -13, -8, 0, and 21.  So, for instance, 21 days before May 14 is April 23 so there's a high probability for tornadoes today.  The last couple days there were very strong, deadly tornadoes in Texas and Oklahoma.  So it's all beginning now and will last until around June 2, with all these strong BT days clicking off tornadoes during the whole period.  Stay aware of the weather forecasts.  Be safe inside and below ground if possible if there's a tornado warning in your area.

4/24/2020 --- CORONAVIRUS/BT CHART UPDATED ABOVE IN 4/20 AREA.  The CDC often updates its weekly Influenza Deaths data so you never really know how it's going to settle for sure.  The new update shows deaths even more clearly following BT, making the peak in mid-April as BT expected and now falling, expecting an important bottom May 20, then moving up to June 10.
*Note --- Influenza Deaths data lines in the previous charts will be updated in those charts as new data comes in.
5/1/2020 ---  HOPING THE MAY 20-JUNE 10 RISE IS NOT STRONG. The weekly Flu Deaths/BT chart in the 4/7 area above has been updated.  Flu Deaths are following BT, correctly forecasting the 4/11 deaths peak.  
5/4/2020 ---  CLICK HERE TO SEE NEW SUNSPOT PROFILE EXTENDED TO 49 DAYS.  I'm starting to extend the profiles of the various indices and find great new information available for forecasting them.  The symmetry between both sides of the '0' day lends support to the fact that something real is going on here, that the Berg Timer is, if not causal, at least influencial in the behavior of, well, most everything.  
5/9/2020 --- VIRUS DEATHS CHART UPDATED WITH LATEST WEEK'S DATA.  Virus deaths continued down as BT expected. Expecting a bottom on May 20.
Berg Timer unusually strong through to November 2020.  One does not know whether it's BT's effect is on the atmospheric environment affecting the weak or causing increased virul growth, or both.  Regardless, its control will require constant effort.
addendum *** There are seven days with BT >6 strength coming up from May 14 to June 2 (see BT chart just above).  Things can get wild and crazy in all facets of life and environment.  Be careful.  On the other hand, it's a great time to finalize/end big projects and plan/begin new ones.

5/12/2020 --- SIGNS THAT THE 2020'S DROUGHT LONG AGO FORECASTED HERE (JULY 2012) IS BECOMING FACT.  
An online CBS news article was posted on May 9 titled "Ominous trend in American West could signal a looming "megadrought" is warning that the U.S. West is drying up.  It says:
"Come spring, the American West's vast water reservoirs are supposed to fill with melting snow. However, this year, as in recent years, the large reservoirs of Lake Mead and Lake Powell in the Colorado River basin area have seen declining water levels — an ominous trend that a new study warns could signal a looming megadrought.  The persistence of the drought conditions, in the Colorado River basin especially, is essentially unprecedented in human history," John Fleck, author of "Water is for Fighting Over," told CBS News' John Blackstone."
Signs the 2020's drought long ago forecasted here is becoming fact.  Thanks, Edgar, for connecting me to this article.

5/15/2020 --- A huge '19' strength Berg Timer day occurs on July 19.  There will be above normal airline delays the first two weeks in July and the week after July 19th.  
5/17/2020 ---  MARS AIR CLARITY (ABSENCE OF DUST) MATCHES U.S. WIND & THE BERG TIMER.  Many years ago I published BT compared to Mars Wind.  Air clarity has become an important issue with Mars exploration because the machines require sunlight to keep their batteries charged.  Windy days spewing up dust in the air and on instruments is not good.  So I investigated Mars Air Opacity data collected by the Phoenix Lander, and found a great positive correlation not only to BT but also to U.S. wind!  Mars and Earth weather similar in timing?  Wow!  If all planetary atmospheres are moving at the same time because of planetary symmetry, as represented by BT, well, that's BIG.  Being able to accurately forecast strong wind events, "dust devils" as they call them, on Mars would be great for scheduling martian rover exploration and for forecasting weather when we have settlements there.  So below is the comparison of BT and Mars Air Opacity.  BT correlates quite well, with the eleven strongest BT days matching strong Opacity.  The U.S. wind and Mars Opacity correlation is an added discovery which has strong science-moving significance.  Two chill-up-the-back discoveries.

6/3/2020 ---  2020 is the strongest BT year since 1982.
You never know how one of the strongest Berg Timer years in history is going to personify itself.
Could be a hurricane, earthquake, or a tsunami.
But now we know that a very strong BT year can also be a pandemic, with waves of riots, theft, and arson.
7/3/2020 ---  MARS AND MERCURY ATMOSPHERIC BEHAVIORS ARE SIMILAR.  Continuing with the study above in the 5/17 entry showing the similarity between Mars air dust and Earth wind, below is a chart comparing the same Mars air dust and Mercury Dew Point.  Earth, Mars, and Mercury.  It's further proof that all solar system planetary bodies with atmospheres share similar circulation timing due to planetary angularity/symmetry as represented by the Berg Timer.

also 7/3/2020 ---  Today I caught a program on the Animal Planet channel called "nature's strangest mysteries:solved".  It was talking about Yellowstone's Steamboat Geyser and how unpredictable it is.  Can't be predicted?  Well, that peaked my interest.  Then they said it was erupting again here in 2020.  2020?  A year with the strongest Berg Timer since 1982?  Well, then I turned up the volume.  Then they said it hadn't erupted this strong since 1982.  1982?  The last time BT was as strong as 2020?  Well, that's it.  I immediately did a search on the history of Steamboat Geysers.  Sure enough, lots of geysers in 1982 and 2020.  Some from 1961-68, one in 1911.
Happy 4th of July!

7/20/2020 ---  HURRICANE SEASON FORECAST FOR 2020.  ARE YOU READY?  The strongest Berg Timer year since 1982 is making this a busy hurricane season.  We've already had six tropical storms with sixteen BT days of  '7' or more strength during May, June and July.  And we're in a hurricane possible period here from July 31 to August 10.  
On July 19, the '19' strength BT got things started.  Even though it's early we can't ignore a '19' strength day.  A tropical depression is heading toward the Gulf of Mexico.  If it takes its time to generate some energy before it reaches the gulf shore we'll have a very wet Hurricane Gonzalo by July 27.  (correction, storm name is Hanna)
The strongest periods of the season will be August 14-30, September 11-18, October 13-20, and Oct. 31-November 19.  November?  Yep.  Since 1995 there have been thirteen hurricanes in November, including two each in 1999 and 2001.  
The rule is that the daily Berg Timer must be '7' strength or higher in order to generate a hurricane.  Then maximum strength winds most often occur within 8 days.  The most likely hurricane days are shown with the horizontal lines in the charts below.
BT calms down in late September.  And then on October 12 the Berg Timer hits '7' strength so hurricanes are more possible on October 13-20.
BT is at '8' strength on both lucky Novembers 7 and 11.  So there's a hurricane potential from October 31 through to November 19th.
Addendum 8/26/2020 --- I changed the charts below to show the beginning of each 7 strength BT day with its own individual line.
That way you can see the cumulative effect of several strong BT days like we're having in mid August.  Hurricane Laura is peaking in strength today on August 26.  Looks like a good way to present all future forecasts.  
Laura started on 9/19 as Tropical Depression 13 and ended 8/26 lasting 8 days.  Eight days is the rule for how long hurricanes usually take to reach peak wind speed.  That was true for Laura.  Calm from September 17 to October 12, right at the peak of the hurricane season.

8/4/2020 ---  I've found that very high monthly BT also occurred during the 1918-19 Spanish Influenza, 1957-58 Asian Flu, 1968-9 Hong Kong Flu, the 1347 Black Death, and the 2009-10 Swine Flu Pandemics.  I also just correlated monthly BT and U.S. Drought, finding that drought is also peaking right now with the CoronaVirus.  That makes sense since viruses hate sunshine and heat.  When the environment gets to a certain degree of sunshine and heat it breaks the virus' trend.  Like right now.  Note that BT makes another strong peak in late 2022.  This drought is not over.

8/26/2020 --- A change has been made to the 7/20/2020 hurricane forecast charts to show the cumulative strength of BT to better forecast hurricanes. BT did a good job forecasting the now peaking Hurricane Laura.  BT forecasted the exact daily peak of Coronavirus New Cases within 5 days.  The chart is in the 7/22/20 entry.
Below is a picture my son took tonight of Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto all close together.  Their 'closeness' is within 7 degrees of longitude of each other and it occurs in the constellation of Capricorn.  It's called a 'conjunction' and is highly responsible for the very strong Berg Timer and a lot of the chaos this year.
Jupiter can barely be seen a little above the Moon, Saturn is clearly seen to the upper left of the moon, and Pluto can't be seen due to its distance.
This astronomical event has occurred only twice in the last 2000 years and will last from March 2020 to March 2021.
8/31/2020 --- BERG TIMER UPDATED THRU TO THE END OF THE YEAR.  Click on 'Berg Timer Data' in left column to go there.
After September 10 we'll go a whole month without BT being greater than 5 strength.  Whew!  Finally a breather from strong BT.  Maybe things will calm down for a while.  Tomorrow a strong '10' BT day.  It's not the strong BT days themselves as much as the days immediately before and after the strong BT which usually shows up as strong weather, accidents, volatile behavior.  Strong BT can be compared to something that's in balance, being less balanced on either side, the rhythm of the universe.  Like the pole vaulter balanced at the top of a jump or the pendulum of a clock at the end of a swing, or a cresting ocean wave before it crashes on the beach.    
9/5/2020 --- THE 2020 DROUGHT FORECASTED HERE IN JULY 2012 IS NOW OFFICIALLY HERE.  
Drought is a strange thing.  It doesn't just OCCUR.  It creeps up on you, month by month, year by year.  Then all of a sudden, hey, we're in a drought!
Here is the latest U.S. drought status as reported by Drought.gov:
https://www.drought.gov/drought/

Washington Post 9/4/2020 --- California's `brutal' heat wave is underway, expected to topple all-time records, escalate fire risks.  Electricity demand is expected to soar along with temperatures.  California's second-, third- and fourth-largest wildfires on record still actively burning.  Hottest season on record:  Merciless Phoenix heat blasts by all-time monthly, summer milestones.
Los Angeles Times 9/5/2020 --- Already on Friday, a record-high temperature of 109 degrees was set at Palmdale Airport, breaking the old record of 107 set on that date in 1955.  Lancaster Fox Field tied a record of 108 also set in 1955.  Southern California heat wave could break all-time records, raising fears of effects.

9/15/2020 --- THE WORST IS OVER.  The coronavirus has seen its peak and hurricanes, after Sally, are not likely to threaten the U.S. coast until mid-October.  October would be a little late in the season, so Sally should be the end of this year's threatening hurricanes.  
The coronavirus chart below extends the previous one's BT forecast to June 30, 2021.  BT will not be reaching the historically very strong levels that it did last July.  So the virus shouldn't reach the previous mid-July highs again.  
BT will be bottoming in late September and moving up to early November.  So new virus cases should bottom and move up a little during this time.  The virus will be overcome by a weakening BT in late December and, anyway, by December vaccines will have arrived, lifting optimism and the economy.  
UPDATE  9/28/2020, 4 PM EST --- A new test has been announced today that tests for Covid19 antigens in 15 minutes.  We will now be able to more quickly identify, treat, and hopefully cure those who get the virus, leading to the virus' end.  150 Million tests have been distributed to the states.
9/22/2020 --- NEW EXTENDED PROFILE OF "% OF FLIGHTS LATE" and U.S. PRECIPITATION.  A Berg Timer profile is a line chart of how an indice, like "Percent of Flights Late", behaved before and after a '0' day which is when BT is 7 strength or more.  
The precipitation profile is based on precipitation amounts in 217 U.S. cities on the 49 days before/during/after the 256 times that BT was equal to or greater than '7' strength during the years 2006 to 2017.  United Airlines was used since it's the largest domestic carrier.
The first thing noticed is how well precipitation correlates with the lateness.  Most late flights occur days 4, 5, and 8 days before strong
Berg Timer (day '0').  So, basicly, it's best not to fly during the nine days before strong daily BT, when daily BT is 7 strength or higher.  
Applying this to Thanksgiving this year, Thanksgiving occurs on November 26 which is 16 and 20 days after the the two nearest strong BT days of Nov. 7 and 11.  Those are two days are low %Late days in the profile, so air travel delays should be relatively low during Thanksgiving travel.
May you have an on-time and Happy Thanksgiving!

10/11/2020 ---  NEW CORONAVIRUS CASES MOVING UP.  New virus Cases bottomed with BT in September and are moving up.  The daily virus/BT chart in entry 9/28/2020 shows that cases are moving with BT quite accurately.  The next peak is expected early November.
As charts below show, U.S. Deaths are trending far behind New Cases which probably means that we are now taking many more new tests and preventing many more deaths.

Price $245.  It's FREE with purchase of the WEF System described on the PRODUCTS Page.
10/25/2020 --- TRUMP WILL WIN.  2021 WILL RULE!  The peaceful coalition that Trump has put together in the Middle East has been vastly overlooked.  It's the best thing to happen in 2020 and is great for all world economies.  Biden's plan to phase-out the oil industry has pretty much sown it up for Trump's success on November 3rd.  Don't let the panic some media make of increasing virus cases bother you.  It was forecasted by the daily BT.  See chart above.  Only 99% of the remaining cases will result in deaths, the same as a typical influenza season.  The coronavirus will very soon get stung by vaccines.  
Sit down, have a beer or a glass of wine, and shake off the dust of 2020.  2021 will be a very good year.
11/1/2020 --- WHOA!  The BT Precipitation Map for Election Day November 3.  I've been so busy with the virus I forgot to make the BT Precipitation Map for election day.  But I'm glad I didn't publish this earlier.  No one would have shown up to vote.  What a mess!  It looks stormy everywhere except Alaska, California, Colorado, Minnesota, and South Florida.  One of the worst I've ever seen.  I think the only area where the Weather Service agrees is in the Northeast.  We'll see.  
On the virus side, New Cases are way up, peaking now with daily BT at a peak.  But deaths are not following it up.  Cases Should trend down and make a low around Christmas time.  Some good news.  Take care.

11/12/2020 --- BERG TIMER QUIET UNTIL MID-JANUARY.  The BT is finally calming down after a very active 2020.  Things now in general are turning into a more manageable situation.  You can see above in the BT/cases chart that BT starts strong again in mid-January, 2021 with a strong probability for a winter storm then.  Most of January and mid-February very active.  Those, of course, will also be peaks in virus New Cases but with the introduction of vaccines it should not be as high as it's been here in November.

12/3/2020 ---  STRONG 8-HOUR BERG TIMER = WHAM!, BOTTOM MADE, MARKET GOES UP.  A correlation has finally been found between the market and 8-hour Berg Timer.  A string of '0' strength 8-hour BT values followed by strong BT starts a sudden increase of the S&P 500 for at least 25 points.  The chart below shows arrows when this correlation occurred with the market rising rapidly after low BT.  16 winners, 1 loser.  25 pts. x $45 per pt. made = $1,125 per trade per contract, including commissions.  2020 Net +$16,875 per contract.  Big money.  And 2019 went 17 winners, 2 losers.

12/9/2020 ---  A RAINY DAY IN NEW YORK --- I was wondering if any significant weather over New York and BT might correlate with the market.  Don't we all?  What better place to test weather and market psychology than New York, the hub of world market psychology?
The best weather front maps are NOAA's Daily Weather Maps, they go way back.  Pick a signal generated for the WHAMMER system.

I'll go with the strongest BT WHAMMER Signal of 2020, the Friday, May 22 signal, when the strongest BT WHAMMER Buy signal occurred.  Should be interesting.  If weather affects the market, and BT can forecast it, it should show up here.  On May 22 the S&P closed at 2952.  So, the system bought at the close at 2952.  On the next opening it was 49 S&P points higher, Mama Mia! (Broadway, 2001).  
What weather was happening around New York during that Buy signal?  On Friday May 22 there's a low pressure system approaching New York City from the south, in Virginia.  The market was already in a good uptrend but the last week went sideways.  On Saturday May 23, the low pressure was right on top of a rainy New York.  And look, there's another ' L ' in northern New York too.
May 24-26, Sunday-Tuesday, the low pressure drifted offshore and sat there.  Monday, holiday.  The market opened up 49 points on Tuesday.  Why?  Did the low pressure moving away cause the market to burst up after the pause?  Many studies have shown that barometric pressure affects human behavior.  High pressure usually means calm behavior.  Low pressure, restlessness.  The same with most all mammals.
May 27, Wednesday, low pressure gone.  The market way up again.  Thursday and Friday, market sideways.  The case can be made that low pressure nearing the area caused traders to be hesitant, making the market do nothing in the previous week.  Then, as low pressure moved offshore Monday and Tuesday, the market shot up, kind of a release, whew, relaxed optimistic response.  That could be the way it was, maybe the way it always is.
Thinking that interesting, I continue to click through the weather maps during WHAMMER's past signals over the last two years.  Wait a minute.  Another one with an ' L ' over New York.  I got a silly grin on my face as another, and another, and another one.  Another one.  
In the end, 98% of the signals occurred when there was a low pressure system over or very close to New York.
I think that was even better than the Broadway play How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying (1961).
I wiped that silly grin off my face and remembered one of my first studies some 45 years ago, the Stock Market and Barometric Pressure, which is at the bottom of the Stock Market page.  Always been there.  It compares monthly pressure to the S&P from 1960-73, showing that Pressure and the market obviously peak and bottom together.  If only I'd just looked over my past research I wouldn't have had to learn this all over again.  But I did learn that pressure and the market works hourly and daily too, not just monthly.  And right over New York.  The Berg Timer is right there in the middle of it all, standing on Broadway and 53rd in the rain, directing Low Pressure, waiting for the next play to start.

1/23/2021 ---  THE BERG TIMER CORRECTLY FORECASTS MAJOR WINTER STORM IN MID-JANUARY.  In the 11/12/2020 entry, I stated that "BT starts strong again in mid-January, 2021 with a strong probability for a winter storm then".  On January 14, the blizzard moved down from Canada into the Northern Plains, then down across the Midwest and up through the Northeast.  
 
pictures source:  The Weather Channel website

This was predictable by anyone using daily BT.  You can see in the U.S. Precipitation Profile below that precipitation is most likely during the week before day "0", day "0" being when BT is "7" strength or more.  In the BT chart below, BT is "8" strength on January 17.  So precipitation was most likely during the week before Jan. 17.  That's exactly when this major storm occurred.  Good job BT!
This is a perfect example of how to use BT profiles to forecast things.  

As for the future, BT is strong on February 9, 15, and 19.  So precipitation is likely during the week before each of those dates, which in this case covers the whole period of February 2 to 17.  A wet U.S. during the first two weeks of February.
    Paintbrush Picture

3/13/2021 ---  WINTER STORM WAS NO SURPRISE FOR THE BERG TIMER.  Precipitation for Colorado on March 13 was highly likely as shown by the BT Precipitation Profile.
The Profile peaks on day -3, meaning precipitation is most likely three days before a daily BT strength of "7" or more.
It's no wonder that Colorado would experience precipitation on March 13, 3 days before the "7" strength BT on March 16.  Another good job BT!

4/15/2021 ---  NEW ANALYSIS OF ATLANTIC HURRICANES & 2021 FORECAST.  It's found that hurricane seasons are more active when immediately preceeded or followed by strong BT.  This 120 year study shows that BT has the same effect on hurricanes as most all indices listed at the top of this page.  Daily solar activity, precipitation, wind, hail, lightning, wildfires, aircraft-boating-railroad-auto accidents, asthma episodes, assaults, earth and moonquakes, and Mars wind speed to name a few of the indices studied on this website show the same effect of the Berg Timer being strong before and after the occurence.  Many indices and daily BT show this effect but it was unusual to find this correlation also with monthly hurricanes.  
Below are monthly BT and Atlantic Hurricanes since the year 1900.  Strong BT usually occurs just before and after active hurricane seasons.  
hurricane data source:  wunderground hurricane archive

Above, lots of examples of the monthly BT's effect on hurricanes.  Most recently shown is BT's very strong July in 2020 which was followed by a quite active hurricane season with four hurricanes in October.  

2021 Forecast --- August 1 and 19 are likely start dates for the beginnings of hurricane generation.  And the the Berg Timer hits 7 strength six more times in September and October.  September will be a very active month for hurricanes this year.  BT hits a very strong "18" strength on October 15, 2021.  Should be an interesting October too.  A late year hurricane wouldn't be a surprise.
As always, the rule is to expect maximum winds to be attained within 8 days from each instance of BT being "7" strength.  Those completion periods are indicated with the blue horizontal lines.
Late Note --- July 7, 2021 --- Since we had very early activity in early July with Hurricane Elsa, this note is to add that BT also hits '9' strength on July 17.  So possible activity can be expected from then until 8 days later, July 25.


JUNE 6, 2021 --- Addendum to 3/23/2020 Entry, from my notes regarding an interview on Fox News of Jamie Metzl, World Health Organization Advisory Committee & former National Security Council member ---
Clues regarding the coronavirus structure have shown that the DNA sequencing of the virus cannot have been the result of natural animal-to-human contact.  It's most likely the result of a highly contagious artificial manipulation of the coronavirus.  The exact circumstances of its leakage from the laboratory requires an investigation which is not likely since its origin is located in Wuhan China and access is too highly controlled and/or refused.


JULY 6, 2021 --- Below is updated U.S. Drought compared to monthly Berg Timer.  I first forecasted this drought for the 2020's here in 2012 and again in 2018.  You can read the original forecast here.

JULY 11, 2021 --- THE BERG TIMER & GLOBAL TEMPERATURE, BT'S COOLIN' IT.  Here is NOAA's Global Land-Ocean Temperature Index which is composed of the GHCN v4 (Global Historical Climatology Network of equally spaced meteorological stations) and the ERSST v5 (Extended Reconstructed 2x2 degree grid of Sea Surface Temperature from satellites, ships, and buoys).  BT correlates very well with many peaks and bottoms here.  A positive correlation, high and low BT equals high and low temperature.  
Notice how temperature strongly rises right after the very strong extremes of BT in the 1980's.  This is the same thing that happens in the 1400 year global temperature study published in the 9/28/19 entry.  When very strong extremes of BT occurs in the 1400 year chart, temperature also makes a major temperature bottom and then rises sharply.  Both studies show about a 1.25° Centigrade rise in temperature overall, another similarity.
There's an interesting thing in this chart I didn't notice in the previous study due to the large differences of scale.  The Berg Timer after 2020 is noticeably weaker than normal.  You can see in this chart that low BT almost always coincides with cooler temperature.  So the logical conclusion is that the world is now moving into a cooling period over the next 30 years.

AUGUST 1, 2021 --- INFLUENZA, CORONA19 DEATHS, AND THE BERG TIMER, UPDATE THRU 2022. There's a weekly influenza deaths/Berg Timer analysis I made 18 years ago on the Behavior page.  Here's an update which also includes the corona virus deaths.
Everyone is familiar with the flu season in the Winter months of October to March.  But when you analyze flu's anomalies, departures from normal, you can see when strong BT makes deaths unusually high and low.
The chart below has a built-in delay of two weeks for when the strong BT materializes into the cases and deaths.  Most obvious is the very strong BT from June to November of 2020 coinciding with the strongest influenza and covid deaths.  The atmospherics were more conducive for viral replication, thus more deadly.  If the coronavirus had arrived on scene any other time of the year, when BT wasn't so strong, it might not have been so deadly.  
Right now the coronavirus new cases are back over 100,000 a day with deaths being over 600 a day in response to the strong BT days of May 26, June 21, July 3,17, August 1, 19, and September 13, 22, 25.  October 15 hits an historically very strong '18' strength with November 14-15 combining to also hit '18' strength.
On The Evidence Page you'll find studies that give evidence for the relationship between weather, geomagnetism and/or solar activity and viral activity.  Some specific items on that page are provided below after this chart.

Below are some of the items on the Evidence Page about the link between weather and viral illness.  There are also some items on that page dealing with behavior and crime.  Of course, BT's relationship to weather has been solidified here on this website.  And there are many studies supporting a link between hot weather and criminal behavior.

Since this rate parallels the amount of albumin and gamma globulin, resistance to infection may also follow the lead of the sun."  Freitas, Robert A., Jr.; "Sunspots and Disease," Omni, 6:40, May 1984.

AUGUST 10, 2021 ---  The Berg Timer during the Summer of 2022 is like the Summer of 2020.  
If we don't finish our vaccinations and become complacent about this coronavirus, it will likely come back and hit us again next summer with the same ferocity.  This Fall could be nasty too with strong BT on October 15 and 27, November 4, 5, 18, and 29.  On October 15, BT hits a very strong value of '18', a strength rarely seen.  The last time BT was that strong was July 19 of 2020.  We all remember the many viral deaths last summer, not to mention the murder, rioting, arson, and theft in several major U.S. cities.  
The charts below show the daily BT for the summers of 2020, 21 and 22.  A Berg Timer strength of  '7' is considered moderately strong.  This year's summer was a little less strong than both last year and next year.  Next year 2022 will be almost as strong as last summer, 2020.  So both the influenza and corona viruses will most likely be like 2020's summer.  If you haven't already been vaccinated, it's very important to talk with your doctor about it now.
Notice BT on July 13 and 14 of 2020 last year.   First day has '16' strength and the next day '10', totalling 26 BT.  Wow.
Notice BT on July 17 and 18 of 2022 next year.  Each day has '13' strength totalling 26 BT.  Again!
Now look above at the Influenza Deaths chart and see what happened in July 2020.  Only slightly less than the most weekly deaths of the eight year period.  That is the potential deaths that could happen again in July 2022.  So it's very important to talk with your doctor about getting vaccinated.

AUGUST 12, 2021 --- GLOBAL DROUGHT AND TEMPERATURE.  The drought we have now, forecasted on this website eight years ago, is continuing to burn up the western U.S. with 100 wildfires in 12 states, the California Dixie Fire being the worst in the state's history.  Southern Europe is also in drought conditions with fires in Italy and Greece, even in the northern Russia Siberia.
Below was my original drought forecast 8 years ago that we would have a major drought in the 2020's.
This was published in the top Headline area of the December 9, 2013 issue of this website ---
Berg Timer Forecasts Major Drought in 2020's
Then the following simple explanation and chart was given as to why a major drought was being forecasted for the 2020's ---
"See below the similarity between the Berg Timer during the Dustbowl 1930's and BT during the 2020's."

The result --- A major drought in the 2020's.  
Another important forecast --- Global temperature peaked in 2020 and will decline for 30 years, as first forecasted above in the September 28, 2019 entry.

AUGUST 10, 2021 ---  "THE DROUGHT IS WORLDWIDE," according to the Los Angeles Times, "The world is facing unprecedented levels of drought . . . No continent, except Antarctica, has been spared . . . In Brazil, the current drought is one of the worst ever recorded . . . In Madagascar, drought has left hundreds of thousands of people malnourished, pushing the country to the edge of famine . . . You can erase all the cities across the map in the Western U.S. and you’d still have water shortages on farms."

Below is monthly BT with a 2 month lag compared to the well-respected Palmer Drought Severity Index published by the National Climatic Data Center.  The correlation is typical of BT and weather with drought here strongest at or just before/after strong BT.  The strongest BT of this 17 year period in 1983 was within 8 months of the strongest drought point.  

We're now at a global temperature peak.  BT forecasts that we're now close to the end of the 2020's drought.  Drought effects will continue to be felt for a few years but the drought's BT stimulus is becoming less.

September 18, 2021 ---  Atlantic Hurricane Season Update.  August has already been pretty active with three hurricanes, Ida causing the most damage upon Louisiana.  We're now moving into the peak hurricane season, expecting it to be more active than normal.  
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on newly formed Tropical Storm Odette, located a couple hundred miles off the Mid-Atlantic U.S. coast.  
Thunderstorms are gradually becoming better organized in association with an area of low pressure located about 1100 miles east-southeast of the northern Leeward Islands.  Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for further development during the next couple of days.  However, upper-level winds are likely to become less conducive for development when the system reaches the southwestern Atlantic by the early to middle part of next week.  Will update the chart below with the latest storms.

October 4, 2021, Chicago homicide charts updated July 21, 2023 with forecast to August 31, homicide Profile ---  
Discovery!  Geomagnetism, a contributory homicide cause.
2019-664 homicides, 2020-961 homicides, 2021-1066.  For whatever role magnetic fields, atmospherics, and weather might play, homicides are most likely to occur four days before a Berg Timer day of '7' strength or higher.  This same before/after correlation occurs with many indices profiled on this website, including sunspots, solar flares, geomagnetism, aurora, precipitation, temperature, wind speed, wildfires, cloudiness, airline delays, asthma episodes, influenza, car/aircraft/railroad/boating accidents, police calls, fire incidents, assaults, and even deep sea fishing success.  Since the profile of geomagnetism peaks four days before strong BT, I searched for a solar or geomagnetism indice that also increases around four days before strong BT.  I found it.  Geomagnetism caused by the solar wind's electrons cause atmospheric Aurorae and apparently are a contributing cause in this violent homicidal behavior four days before strong BT.  See how the high electrons occur just before strong Berg Timer (inverted) in the next chart.

Below are the daily Berg Timer compared to 2022-23 total daily homicide incidents in Chicago's Cook County.  Interesting to mention that many weather indices demonstrate this strong before/after BT effect including temperature and precipitation.  The coupling evidence between strong Berg Timer, weather, and aggressive human behavior is quite interesting and the subject of many behavioral studies.
 
The profile of homicides in Chicago.  Most occur on day '1', the day after a strong Berg Timer day greater than 6 strength on day '0'.  The fewest homicides occur five days before strong BT days.
Paintbrush Picture
Since the year 1557, there's only been 7 times when the 3-year sum of BT was as strong as 2019-21.  One of those times was also a pandemic, the Spanish Flu during WWI in 1917-19.  It can be difficult forecasting during very active BT years because you have high BT days running into each another, making for very strong influences.
In the daily charts below, notice the strong BT days happening almost every week, sometimes more than two a week.  That results in a multiplication of its effect, accounting for the craziness we've seen in the world over the past several years.  It's been just one thing after another, never slowing down.  
Take a deep breath.  It's almost over.  BT and the world will begin returning to a more normal state after 2023.

In other news during this very strong BT period and pertaining to the Chicago Homicides study above, CBS online reports on violence during the weekend:  CHICAGO (CBS) — At least 44 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend, and at least three of those people died.  And a man was killed and four others wounded in a mass shooting along a bustling stretch of Wicker Park early Sunday, police said.

October 11, 2021 --- Southwest Airlines cancelled at least 1,800 flights over the weekend of October 9 to 10 and it continued into Monday the 11th with over 2000 flights cancelled, citing “disruptive weather” and air traffic control issues.  Fox News has reported that the many airline employees taking sick leave in response to covid vacinnation requirements has also added to the disruption of airline traffic.  This is all happening 4 to 6 days prior to the huge BT = 18 strength day on October 15.  You can see in the profile below that 4 to 6 days before a strong BT day, day "0", is the "sweet spot" for high Airline Delays.  BT profiles work.
Delays data source:  https://www.transtats.bts.gov/ONTIME/Airline.aspx  
 
October 12, 2021 --- OIL CUT OFF, PRICES SURGE, ECONOMY DECLINES, STOCK MARKET PEAKS.
In the chart below, first published here on January 2, 2015, the Berg Timer forecasted a major high for the stock market to occur in 2021.  The all-time high so far was made on August 16, 2021 (late update, 2021 peak made on December 30).
The fundamental cause of our slowing and inflationary economy (stagflation) is high oil prices due to the cutting off of the Keystone pipeline and oil drilling which has increased the cost of goods.  That really threw a wrench into an economy that was going so well.
The planet is now naturally starting to cool down.  Global temperature peaked in 2020 as the planetary alignments changed atmospherics, correctly forecasted in September 2019 by the Berg Timer.
The economic/stock market weakness could be lasting as long as seven years to 2028, like the peak of 1996 which lasted five years until 2001.

November 25, 2021 --- THE END OF THE 2020-2022 PANDEMIC?  Updated Corona Virus New Cases and the daily Berg Timer to the end of next year, 2022.
The last pandemic was the Spanish Flu in 1918-19 during World War 1.  It killed 20 to 50 million world-wide, including 675,000 Americans.  The Berg Timer at that time was as strong as it has been over the last couple years.  Isn't that interesting.
BT will be calming down from these historically very high levels.  There will be spikes up but overall less strong as 2019-21.
World weather is now and will continue to be returning to normal.  Global temperature peaked in 2020 and BT forecasts that it will continue to decline for at most the next couple decades.  
This 'return to normalcy' will have a very welcome calming effect on all aspects of Nature . . . including human behavior.

December 19, 2021 --- THE WORLD IS only 1.92°F WARMER THAN IN 1880.  Natural or Man-Made?  Important or Not?
In 1888 Karl Benz received the first patent (DRP No. 37435) for a gas-fueled car.  And on December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright piloted their gasoline-powered, propeller-driven biplane, staying aloft for 12 seconds.  Thus began the argument proclaiming that  a 1.92 degree increase in global temperature is due to the use of petroleum based fuels.  Regardless of the cause, is a two degree rise in temperature over 140 years threatening our very existence as some would have us think?  Hmm.  I don't think that most scientists think so.
The global temperature indice below is courtesy of the National Oceanographic Atmospheric Administration's National Center for Environmenal Information, the nation’s leading authority for environmental data, and manager of one of the largest archives of atmospheric, coastal, geophysical, and oceanic research in the world.
The 2-year moving average of the Berg Timer below shows great similarity to this NOAA global temperature indice.  Temperature made its peak with the second-strongest BT since 1880.  This confirms my original forecast for a peak in global temperature here.
Yearly BT will continue weak, moving down until the late 2060's.  This long period of low BT is much like the low BT period of 1655 to 1690 called the famous Maunder Minimum, the longest and weakest solar activity of the sun known to us.  This period experienced very cold temperatures in Europe and is dubbed `The Little Ice Age'.

December 31, 2021 --- WEEKLY BERG TIMER forecasts INFLUENZA and COVID DEATHS for 2022.
Weekly BT highs and lows are pretty good at forecasting influenza deaths.  The Covid virus also follows it, to a certain extent, but does have a mind of its own.  Covid deaths really took off in December 2021, possibly encouraged by contacts made during the holiday season while regular flu followed BT and turned down.  
Both kinds of flu responded strongly to the very strong Berg Timer in 2020 and 2021.  
BT forecasts that influenza deaths will move up strongly during the summer of 2022, the strongest period being the week of July 13.
The current science regarding Covid's variant Omicron is that it's an upper respiratory disease like the flu or a bad cold, and that it should run its course without too much damage.  If so, Omicron might be a blessing, increasing the natural immunity in the world's population, causing an end to the pandemic.  One hopes and prays so.  May it be a very Happy New Year!   
January 4, 2022 --- COVID NEW CASES AND DAILY BERG TIMER CORRELATE INVERSELY
Most solar, weather, and many other indices have an inverse correlation to the Berg Timer, with indices being high just before and after strong BT.  So why shouldn't Covid virus cases be any different?
Below, virus cases hit their major low on October 17, two days after that BT hit a very strong 18 strength on October 15.  Several other major case lows occurred with strong BT since March 2020.  Major case highs generally occur during BT lows.
So it's likely that there will be a major low of cases this summer during the first week of June 2022.
Case highs are likely March, late Aug to mid Sept, mid Oct to Nov 7, and Nov 15 to Dec 8.  Chart below updated every couple weeks.

May 29, 2022 --- Latest Data Confirms an 8-year-old Discovery.  My work is better when confirmed by the future.  So I looked up an old Seattle Traffic Accidents study I did in 2014, still published on this website, and show my new study below compared to the old one.  They both demonstrate the common BT effect, both data peak just before and after strong BT.  What a great finding!  I love discovery, nothing like it, especially when they confirm each other.
The new 2022 chart of Traffic Tickets shows the same strong behavior of Traffic Tickets just before and after strong BT as does the Accidents.
The atmospherics, as represented by the Berg Timer, are thus proven to produce an excitability in people resulting in less careful driving just before and after strong BT, which of course can be forecasted any time in the future by BT.  Seattle law enforcement could be helped with this tool for knowing when to expect traffic problems.
The Berg Timer is provided to public services free of charge by contacting bergtimer@hotmail.com .
Now I don't have to prove all my other old studies, right? . . . naw.   But confirmation's fun.

September 28, 2022 --- Looking for Hurricane IAN?  If you're feeling the wind of Hurricane IAN and you're wondering where it is, go outside, face the wind and point your right arm out to your right.  You're now pointing at the eye of the hurricane.  That's because the air always flows counter-clockwise around the lowest pressure of any storm system.  The Southern Hemisphere is the opposite.  So your left arm out to your left points to the eye of a typhoon in Australia.  
A great old mariners' trick that helps sailors know where the hurricanes and strong storms are.

*  Hi, I'm Larry Berg.  Welcome to my website.

    

I don't know of a label for what I do.  I guess it's a combination of things.  You could call me an astrometeorologist, the best name I can think of to describe it.  I was schooled in Journalism at the University of Nebraska.  In 1980 after searching for an indicator to trade the market I discovered what's turned out to be a forecasting tool for many things.  I call it the Berg Timer.  I first found that it was capable of forecasting the weather and many things related to weather, which is just about everything.  That put me on the long trail of discovery.  My research has required that I teach myself meteorology and planetary sciences, and then throw in some astrophysics and solar physics. not to mention the myriad kinds of scientific data indices that sometimes have their own language.  All this to even begin the research.  But I certainly have no regrets.  It's been a very interesting and I think valuable undertaking.  Well, more than just an undertaking, a life's work.

My findings and discoveries are the result of over 40 years, and tens of thousands of hours of data acquisition, analysis, and discovery.  It could not have been completed without the scientists, engineers, and researchers in all fields of study who are part of the great vast network of technology who make their data available for research.  And certainly growing up with a big back yard also helped, surrounded by Nature, and blessed with an instinct for the understanding that all things have their own rhythm.

My work is now finding its true form.  The BT profiles are objectively proving that it has the capability to forecast weather, solar activity, health, crime, influenza, hurricanes, seismicity, El Nino, tornadoes, Mercury-Venus-Mars weather, and even police calls.
 The Berg Timer is not only new physics, it's an accurate forecasting tool that can just plain help make our everyday lives better.

And God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to separate the day from the night;
and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years".
The Holy Bible, Genesis [1:14]


Ever since I turned over my first rock as a child I've been fascinated by Nature.  My interest is the study of natural cycles, specifically, the relationship between planetary cycles, solar cycles, and the cycles of Earth's weather, biosphere, geology, and even human behavior.
It's to everyone's benefit and even necessity to have a good understanding of the future.  Whether it's weather, sales, politics, science, health services, the markets . . . everyone is affected by our environment.  Knowing more about these natural cycles and being able to predict the future enables us to have more control over our lives and business.

I discovered and developed this simple indicator which can forecast many things, very reliably.  Farmers and traders now know when the next drought will occur and when it'll be rainy and cool.  Emergency services now know when accidents are most likely to happen.   Power companies know when to expect geomagnetic storms.  Business owners can forecast sales strength.  Stock market investors know when to buy and sell.  Now we all know when we'll have the best weather to schedule outdoor activities and travel.  The Berg Timer can forecast most anything you want or need to know.

BT's applications are so broad that any institution, business, or individual can benefit by applying it to their activities.

And what's most attractive about it is that since BT is based on planetary positions, forecasts can be made infinitely into the future with precise accuracy and reliability.  

Welcome.  Join me as I turn over some more rocks.

This body of work represents the bringing together of the wisdom of the ancient astrologers and the accuracy of today's astronomer to demonstrate that all of the universe's physical and biological paths are inextricably and importantly linked to the planets.  From the ancient Aztec and Maya civilizations, the 13th Century's Ptolemy and Dante, and the Renaissance's Galileo, Kepler, and Brahe who overturned the old astrological order, to today's so technologically accurate astronomers.  All share the common goals of truth and the value of scientific understanding.  All their work has immeasurably helped make possible the discovery of the Berg Timer in 1980.
Thank you.

mathematics can provide sure and unshakable knowledge to its devotees, provided one
approaches it rigorously. For its kind of proof proceeds by indisputable methods, namely

In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.
I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single intelligent man to the thoughtless approval of the masses.

The roads by which men arrive at their insights into celestial matters seem to me almost as worthy of wonder as those matters in themselves.
The same thing is to be understood of all bodies, revolved in any orbits. They all endeavour to recede from the centres of their orbits, and were it not for the opposition of a contrary force which restrains them to and detains them in their orbits, which I therefore call Centripetal, would fly off in right lines with a uniform motion.
The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms.

Ptolemy's Almagest was an authoritative text on astronomy for more than a thousand years, and the Tetrabiblos, its companion volume, was influential in the study of the effects of astronomical cycles on earthly matters.
Galileo was one of the first modern thinkers to clearly state that the laws of nature are mathematical.
Kepler's three laws of planetary motion around the sun correctly replaced Copernicus' heliocentric orbits with elliptical trajectories, two of the laws being that planets move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus and a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times.
In Principia, Isaac Newton formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation that formed the dominant scientific viewpoint until it was superseded by Einstein's theory of relativity.
Albert Einstein was the developer of the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics).

The discovery of the three laws of  planetary motion

Kepler, astrologer and astronomer, worked from the carefully measured positions of the planets recorded by Tycho Brahe to mathematically deduce his three laws of planetary motion, which enabled Isaac Newton to devise the law of gravitation.

My aim is to say that the machinery of the heavens is not like a divine animal but like a clock and that in it almost all the variety of motions is from one very simple magnetic force acting on bodies, as in the clock all motions are from a very simple weight.
Johannes Kepler, Letter to J.G. Herwart von Hohenburg, 16 February 1605.

     

The early scientists, Ptolemy-Galileo-Kepler were all, at their roots, astrologers.  They all knew and understood that both their environment and themselves were affected by the heavens.  And they were astronomers.  They knew that detail and strict rules of analysis and logic brought their theories home with facts.  Their work ushered in, and laid the basis for, the science of astronomy.  

More Isaac Newton quotes . . .

The same law takes place in a system, consisting of many bodies, as in one single body, with regard to their persevering in their state of motion or of rest. For the progressive motion, whether of one single body or of a whole system of bodies, is always to be estimated from the motion of the center of gravity.

If the experiments which I urge be defective, it cannot be difficult to show the defects; but if valid, then by proving the theory, they must render all objections invalid.

It is indeed a matter of great difficulty to discover, and effectually to distinguish, the true motions of particular bodies from the apparent because the parts of that immovable space, in which those motions are performed, do by no means come under the observation of our senses.

Just as the system of the sun, planets and comets is put in motion by the forces of gravity, and its parts persist in their motions, so the smaller systems of bodies also seem to be set in motion by other forces and their particles to be variously moved in relation to each other and, especially, by the electric force.

More Albert Einstein quotes . . .

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex… It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.
I am thankful for all of those who said NO to me. Its because of them I’m doing it myself.

It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid.

There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance.

It gives me great pleasure indeed to see the stubbornness of an incorrigible nonconformist warmly acclaimed.

Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.

God always takes the simplest way.

I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.

You ask me if I keep a notebook to record my great ideas. I've only ever had one.


Recent history continues to usher in scientists and researchers who have discovered, sometimes by accident, the planetary positions' effect

The relationships set forth here imply that certain dynamic forces exerted on the sun by the motions of the planets are the cause of the sunspot activity.
Paul D. Jose, Aerospace Research, USAF. The Astronomical Journal, Vol. 70. April 1965.

It is found empirically that solar activity is preceded by planetary conjunctions. A long-range prediction technique has been in use for 2.5 years, which predicts flares and proton events months in advance.
J.B. Blizard, Denver University. American Physical Society Bulletin #13, June 1968.

In summation, after more than 25 years of research in this field of solar system science, I can say without equivocation that there is very strong evidence that the planets, when in certain predictable arrangements, do cause changes to take place in those solar radiations that control our ionosphere.

God has given us the wonderful ability to understand the complex interrelationships between ourselves and Nature.
The Berg Timer was developed as a useful tool to better manage and enjoy His creation, our home.
Larry Berg, Discoverer of the Berg Timer on November 19, 1980.   

What Makes the Berg Timer Values?
There are three ways a Berg Timer point can be made.  First is when two planets are longitudinally equidistant from a third planet, making one BT point.  Second is a pretty rare event when two pairs of planets each share the same distance apart.  This is shown below when Mercury/Venus and Mars/Earth were both 43 degrees apart, another BT point.  Third is when two planets are in the same degree of longitude, thus being the same distance away from all the other 7 planets, automatically making 7 BT points.

Interior Planets' Positions, June 23-25,
1982
Paintbrush Picture
The Three Ways a Berg Timer Point Can Be Made

On June 23 Mercury was exactly at the midpoint of two other planets.  Mercury was 47 degrees from both Venus and Earth.  One BT point.
On June 25 Mercury was 43 degrees from Venus and Earth was also 43 degrees from Mars.  Two separate pairs of planets an equal distance away.  One point.
Not shown is the third way a BT point can be made.  If two planets are in the same degree, they are each then automatically the same distance away from the seven other planets, making 7 BT points.



Then the points are simply added together for whatever time series desired.  I typically use daily, monthly, and yearly BT in the correlation studies.

The history and development of the Berg Timer can be read in this site page http://www.justgoodtiming.com/id48.htm.  Essentially it began with an interest in and understanding of astrology way back in my 20's.  My understanding of astrology was so thorough that I could often guess someone's sign just by observation.  So I knew that there must be something to it and that a larger application for it in the world must exist.  That helped me in timing the market and then started me along the long road of discovery.

There's really nothing like the feeling of discovering something no one has ever known before, especially since it might be a new law of physics.  One of the most exciting discoveries I've made is when I compared the Berg Timer to moonquakes shown on Natural Disasters page.  To then know that the physics represented by BT is truly universal sent shivers up my spine, and does again now as I'm writing this.

How the planets' positions can affect solar activity is not known.  I've done a lot of reading over the last 40 years.  My best guess is that its an effect of the planets' positions on the interplanetary magnetic field.  We will need space buoys throughout the solar system in order to measure its macro changes.  That day will come.   

In my early days in the 70's, with no computers, I drew out all the planetary cycle lines by hand.  It took me about two days to do one year.  Now with the computer I can calculate any year of the Berg Timer in about seven seconds.  So I now have a library of BT from the years 300 to 2300. 

What is a Berg Timer profile?
Sometimes you can look at a chart comparison between the Berg Timer and solar flares, for instance, and quickly see how they most often occur just before and after strong BT.  Some see it, some don't.  So in order to provide an objective answer to that question I developed the Berg Timer Profile which shows exactly how something correlates with BT over a certain length of time.

BT profiles can be made for any time frame, usually daily, weekly, or monthly.  The daily profiles show how often an indice, like flares for instance, occurred from a certain number of days before and after a Berg Timer day of '7' strength or greater.  The same for weekly, monthly, and eventually yearly profiles to show longer term correlations.

To make the profile I developed a spreadsheet in which I input the daily values of the indice I want to correlate with BT.  It then shows a charted profile of what the indice was doing on each of a certain number of days (usually 12 or 21 days) before and after BT >=7 strength.  Right now I correlate 12 years of data from 2006 to 2020 to get the yearly profile of an indice's past behavior and, thus, expected future behavior.

So after I get the yearly profile I compare the actual present data to see if the actual data matches the profile.  If it does match then I know it's a good profile and can reliably forecast that indice in the future.  Then I can be confident that the indice's future behavior can reliably be forecasted using future BT.

Using profiles makes the analysis of an indice objective and provides empirical proof, or disproof, for a BT correlation.  One can look at a charted comparison of BT and hurricanes for instance and see that tropical depressions are most likely to develop just after a BT "7" day.  Its profile provides an objective confirmation of that.  Also, since BT "7 or more" days sometimes occur within 12 days of each other, the profile automatically integrates multiple BT days' effect which the eye cannot do.

Profiles don't always show a definite correlation.  Some just wiggle up and down sideways and are not consistent over the years.  In these cases the profile can't be of any practical value.  Sometimes there's a third factor which is overriding the data.  That necessitates an adjustment.  For instance, when comparing BT to car accidents you have to account for the tendency for higher accidents to occur on holidays and weekends before the data can be profiled.  Seasonal effects have to be determined on some weather indices like temperature.  For temperature, daily normals are used determine the 'departures from normal' to make a temperature profile.

~ The Berg Timer and The Great Sun-Earth Meteorological Cycle ~

The BT Sequence charts below use principles consistent with the latest scientific research to prove that the Berg Timer represents a major cause, or is at least indicative of, low solar activity and thus changes in Earth's atmosphere, land, and oceans.  Specifically, the Great Sun-Earth Cycle involves Sunspots, Flares, Flux Area, Irradiance, Cosmic Rays, Atmospheric Angular Momentum, Precipitation, Temperature, and Sea Ice.

BT's effect from the Sun to the Earth's surface have been well measured by today's satellite and surface instruments.  What we want to do here is detail the mechanics of the transmission of solar activity to the Earth's atmosphere, land, and oceans.  

It all begins with the Berg Timer's ability to forecast solar activity.  Each subsequent indice is then presented in a logical and scientifically consistent correlation to BT.  
It was a great experience putting this together.  I had to learn a lot about each aspect of the cycle.  Solar and Cosmic Radiation, Atmospherics, Oceanography, Meteorology, Angular Momentum, Geomagnetism.  It was a great education and a thrill to discover the correlations between the BT and our environment.

There is also some other research on this website showing BT's correlation with Mercury, Venus, and Mars atmospherics, and even earthquakes on the moon.  Thus, BT is a valuable universal timing tool.  BT's correlation to the sun and the weather of the planets has ramifications for all solar, planetary, atmospheric, and astrophysics.

I've tried to follow today's thinking of the specialists and have taken great pains to use the most up to date data in each field of study.  A couple of unusual items are also a part of the Sun-Earth Cycle . . . magnetic fields, Earth rotation, and geophysics.

Hopefully, this work will create an interest in finding out why the planets' angular position affects the sun.  That would be a great investigation for interplanetary magnetic field specialists.  It's something I'd like to tackle in the future.  There's lots of data from satellites.  We'll see.  That'd be very interesting.
   

With the evidence presented here, it can be concluded that the planets,
when in certain predictable heliocentric longitudinal positions as represented by the Berg Timer,
cause or are indicative of low solar activity which correlates well with Earth's weather.
Thus, since planetary positions are precisely known infinitely into the future, the Berg Timer can accurately forecast the weather and all things affected by the weather,
which is just about everything.

Nature's a beautiful thing.  The profile of

The Sun-Earth effect begins here.
When the nine planets are in a highly symmetrical position, which is day '0', solar activity is very low.   This fact unleashed my torrent of research and evidence for this, perhaps, new law of physics.

Sunspots are areas on the sun which usually have opposite magnetic polarity and cooler temperature.  There are fewest sunspots occurring exactly at day '0', when BT is at its strongest, what I call,
'at the beak'.

~  SOLAR IRRADIANCE satellite  ~

Solar irradiance is one of the most fundamental drivers of Earth weather and long-term climate.
Satellites provide the most accurate solar irradiance data.  Strong BT = low solar activity and low irradiance.

This data is from the VIRGO/SOHO mission and the Physical-Meteorological Observatory Davos/World Radiation Center.

This chart shows total sunshine received at ground level.  At day '0' to day '2', sky is least clear.  Clouds are blocking the sun's radiation.  So not only is there less sunshine then (4 above) but there is also more cloud cover generated by the ionized atmosphere.  Less sunshine, cooler Earth.

More on Irradiance at the links below. 


Long-Term Cosmic Rays and Cloud Cover


The chart above is evidence supporting correlation between cosmic rays and clouding.
No. 6

~ COSMIC RAYS and CLOUDS~

Electrons and Protons

Low solar activity weakens Earth's magnetic field.  The weak field lets in more cosmic ray particles, mostly protons and electrons.

When the protons and electrons enter the atmosphere they slam into other particles.  They lose an electron and become charged ionized particles.

Water vapor attaches itself to the ionized particles, a process called nucleation which eventually forms clouds.

When BT is strong, solar activity bottoms and Earth's magnetic field is at its weakest, allowing the particles in.

Which ion is most responsible for nucleation, protons or electrons?

The responsible ion's count must be high at day '0' when all this is happening.

To the left is charted proton and electron flux with respect to when the Berg Timer is strongest at day '0'.

Protons bottom at day '1' right after day '0'.
But electrons peak at day '0'.  So it's highly likely that electrons are the stronger nucleating agent leading to cloud formation.

So, strong BT = low solar activity = high electrons = high cloud production = cooler Earth.

No. 6a

~ Geomagnetic Activity ~
Strong BT means fewer sunspots and solar flares, causing a weaker Earth magnetic field which allows cosmic particles to enter Earth's atmosphere causing increased ionization of the atmosphere and Earth, thus higher geomagnetism, its profile shown on the left.  High geomagnetic activity can cause power surges and disruption in power lines, radio, satellite, telephone, and military early warning/detection/navigation, induced currents in pipelines, and radiation on aircraft and astronauts.
It can also disorient whales, birds, bees, and even microscopic bacteria.


The AAM indice is defined as the ratio of East-West vs. North-South winds on Earth.  
The atmosphere accounts for 80-90% of the total angular momentum of Earth.  The oceans and solid body of Earth account for the other 10-20%.
Paintbrush Picture
No. 7

~ ATMOSPHERIC ANGULAR MOMENTUM ~

This is a very strong profile, peaking at
'the Eagle's beak'.

Planetary positions as represented by the Berg Timer correlate positively with the atmospheric and wind changes defined by AAM.  This is why BT is so accurate at forecasting El Nino and Monsoon.

The article below describes what scientists call the 30–60-day "flip-flop oscillation" of our equator-to-pole atmospheric circulation as "not well understood" and that "the possible mechanism causing the poleward propagation is unknown".

The Berg Timer might be "the unknown" catalyst.

~ PRECIPITATION - Coastal Cities ~

Ocean and coasts' weather have higher precipitation
when BT is strong.
So this 'peaks at the beak'.

The profiles are quite striking in their structure similarity at all world locations.

These things aren't occurring by chance.

Strong Berg Timer = low solar activity = high cosmic ray particles entering Earth's atmosphere = high cloud formation = high ocean precipitation.

~ OCEAN PRECIPITATION ~

Ocean precipitation peaks at "0".
Ocean and land precipitation are opposite.

~ PRECIPITATION - Inland Cities ~

This left profile shows that the low of 214 inland U.S. cities' precipitation occurs exactly at day '0'.
Thus, land precipitation occurs oppositely to ocean precipitation which peak at day '0' (profiles in No. 8 and 9).

This correlation is confirmed by the Land/Ocean chart (lower left) showing long-term Land and Ocean precipitation moving oppositely.

Being able to forecast rain is one of the first and most valuable discoveries my work produced.  I remember growing up in the Midwest, watching the rain come and go with the Berg Timer.  That's was my first confirmation of BT's worth.

The Great Plains are certainly great for weather watching.  It gets most all the fronts that move out of the Rockies and up from the Gulf. 

Day '0' is when BT is 7 or above strength.  BT can forecast when it will most likely rain, wherever you are -- inland, coastal, or at sea.  To find out the most likely times for rain, you would make a BT profile of the desired location's precipitation past behavior then use future BT with the profile to forecast the most likely times for precipitation.  See how on this page.

Note*
These are the first Monthly BT Profiles ever produced.  Longer-term BT profiles provide a better understanding of both short and long-term weather indices.

The Berg Timer is able to forecast the long term up's and down's of sea ice because it's so good at forecasting longer-term weather.
This 25 year study of monthly BT found that both hemispheres' sea ice peaks within a month of strong BT, with trends lasting up to a year.
Long term sea ice peaks and temperatures are low when BT is strong.
Strong BT = low solar activity = high nucleation of clouds = cooler Earth = more ice.
High BT = More Ice.
Nice confirmation from a past study.  


No. 12

~  TORNADOES  ~

Tornadoes are most often the result of strong low pressure fronts that move out of the Rocky Mountains into middle America, pulling up warm air from the south which combines with the cool northern air to form strong updrafting, tornadoes in the central U.S. area known as 'tornado alley'.

The tornado profile is very strong and peaks exactly 'at the beak'.  

Tornado data source:

Left, the evolution of a single tornado on
May 24, 2016 in Kansas.


The evidence is overwhelming that the symmetry of the planets' positions, as represented by the Berg Timer,
cause. or are indicative of, low periods of solar sunspots, flares, and flux radiations, these low periods of which cause a reduction of Earth's atmospheric ionization, which allows cosmic ray and solar particles to penetrate Earth's atmosphere,
causing increases of cloud formation (nucleation), geomagnetism, colder temperatures, precipitation, higher atmospheric angular momentum, tornadic activity,
and many other consequences of Earth's weather.
The Berg Timer is evidently the cause, or indicative of, the occurrence of these physical and weather effects.
Since future planetary positions are accurately predictable,
the Berg Timer can precisely forecast these physical processes and their weather effects,
infinitely into the future. 
 

The Berg Timer and Solar Flares
Being able to forecast solar activity is the cornerstone of BT's capabilities since solar activity is the 'first cause' of Earth's atmospheric circulation and weather.  Above is a chart of BT (inverted) and solar flares for 2016-17.  Solar activity is high just before and after strong BT, just like the Solar Flare Profile shown in the Sun/Earth Sequence earlier on this page.

Solar forecasting is becoming more and more important for our space and electrical power industry.  Knowing when solar activity will occur helps us prepare for powerline surges, radiation danger to astronauts and pilots, and damage to satellites.  Sunspots and flares occur just before and after strong Berg Timer days.  Some see it, some don't.  That's why I think the profiles are so great because the profile makes it objectively easy to see.  Flares bottom when BT is strong, like the 'Eagle' Sunspot profile.  

Precipitation and extreme weather is obviously a factor in airline delays and it's confirmed below with the chart of airline late arrivals compared to BT.  This is featured in the Forecasting Service page which provides the Airline Delay profile enabling you to plan air travel with less possibility of delays.  High BT causes strong storm systems that cause delays in air travel.

The Berg Timer and Precipitation, Airline Delays
Microsoft Excel Chart
airlines data source: https://www.transtats.bts.gov/ONTIME/Airline.aspx

BT above is compared to the daily precipitation total of 45 geographically representative U.S. cities and percent of daily United Airlines flights that were "Late" (divided by 2 for charting purposes).  Precipitation occurs just before and after strong BT days causing late arrivals around high BT.
Travel delays can be avoided by using BT to plan travel.  Air travel within a week of BT value "7" or higher has a high probability of delay. Ground travelers and outside event planners can consult the Forecasting Page for the daily BT data provided there in order to make a precise forecast for your area using your state's precipitation profile also available there.
 
The Berg Timer and Tornadoes
Like the Tornado Profile in the Sequence.above, the chart below for 2016 shows that tornadoes are most likely when BT is strong and peaking,  That huge BT day in August was the strongest since 1988.  This is when Louisiana suffered an historic flood disaster much like the Great Flood of 1927 which also occurred during a very strong BT period.

The World Earthquakes BT Profile
See below that earthquakes are most likely 8 days before and 6 days after BT >=5 strength (day "0").  
The Italy 6.2 and Burma 6.8 quakes on Aug 25, 2016 occurred exactly during the profile's high day (-8).
Then again two more quakes, 5.5 and 6.1, hit Italy on October 27, again, 8 days before "0".

The Atlantic Hurricanes Profile
Below is the profile of Atlantic Hurricanes.  It can greatly improve Caribbean planning for travel, cruises, and shipping in the Caribbean.  The correlation was published here in 2008.  This profile confirms that it can forecast hurricanes reliably, and it wasn't the first time.

The best times for travel to avoid hurricanes in the Atlantic and Carribean would be starting 7 days prior to a BT "0" day, when BT is '7' strength or higher.  At that time you would be able to have a good 8-10 days with a low probability for hurricanes, or at least not getting a hurricane's highest wind.  See how this profile would have kept you away from Hurricane Matthew in 2016.

This is a great tool for everyone to refer to in planning vacation or outside events.  You can use this with the Airline Delays profile and be confident that you'll have a nice weather day.

HURRICANE MATTHEW, 2016

Matthew was a natural progression of strength caused by the Berg Timer.  It peaked in strength just one day before the profile forecast.

It caused hundreds of deaths in Haiti and much damage throughout the Bahamas and the eastern coast of Florida.  South Carolina had massive flooding.  BT again proves itself to be a reliable forecasting tool.

 
 
Geomagnetism and Hemispheric Electrification Profiles
   
 
 
These profiles show that geomagnetism exactly peaks on day '0', when the Berg Timer is at its strongest.  This makes sense since The Sequence shown earlier on this page shows that solar activity is low on '0' days.  When solar activity is low, Earth's magnetic field is weaker, allowing charged particles to enter Earth's atmosphere.  Charged particles generate these geomagnetic storms and high geomagnetism.
This electrical power is monitored by the NOAA POES satellites.  Geomagnetism and Hemispheric Gigawatts can now be forecasted by using these BT profiles.  It's a valuable tool for both space and ground electronic engineers and planners.  In most every profile of any subject you can see the symmetry from the center to either side, like an eagle in flight.  Awesome!

The Yearly Berg Timer
Low periods in BT are indicative of drought in the United States and lows in the world economy.  High periods indicate low seismic activity, strong world stock markets, and high precipitation.  See the high peaking BT of 2018, the time of a record high stock market.  There should be a market decline in 2019 then a rally into a 2020-2021 peak.  See updated stock market discussion here.

below written/published April 2008 ---
Note that as of this writing, BT shows that the economy will bottom during the first year of our new next president (2009). Then the economy will improve for the next year (2010), then a decline for at least the next couple years of the new president (2011, 2012).  So our next president may well end his/her presidency at an economic low and be blamed for the very bad economic situation.
The government really has little control over the economy.  It all depends on the weather and how people behave. One president or one congress does not have the means to control that factor.  The economy should be a major sour point for the president who is in office in 2009-2012. But, the president elected in 2012 will see the economy strengthen in 2015, the third year of his/her first/second term. So it goes.  If the president elected in 2012 is a first term president, he/she will be re-elected due to a strong economy at the time of re-election in 2016.

Microsoft Excel Chart
The following written/published July 2012 ---
The Berg Timer's Long-Term Forecast correctly forecasted 2012's low precipitation, high temperatures, low interest rates, La Nina, weak economy, and weak stock market.
Hang on, this trend is not substantially broken until 2015.  The BT forecast has been published on the home page since 2001.  
Notice, in the above chart, the strong up BT cycle during the Clinton administration of 1993 through 2000, thus President Clinton's economic success due to the natural cycles. Notice in the chart below the very strong BT during Ronald Reagan's 1981-1988, thus helping him to succeed.  Then note the low BT as G.W. Bush was finishing his second term in 2008-9. Thus the economic disaster inherited by President Obama, and for which he is semi-succeeding in blaming G.W. Bush.  Then note the bottoming of BT in 2011-12, thus the difficulty President Obama is having with the current economy.
The next president will enjoy the favor of presiding over the economic recovery of 2015.
If President Obama wins in November, he will take credit for the 2015 recovery. If Governor Romney wins, the economic recovery of 2015 will result in a second term for President Romney.
If there were anything the current president could have done to stimulate the economy, don't you think he would have done it by now? He tried with the stimulus but failed.
So, to put it all in perspective, except for making some changes in domestic and foreign policies, it's an illusion to think that there is anything a president, dictator, congress, parliament, union, or federal reserve can do to alter the world economic and climatic changes accurately forecasted by the Berg Timer cycle.  
 
Below written/published May 2018 ---   (For a recent article published above in the 5/12/2020 entry about current drought conditions click here)
See below the similarity between the Berg Timer during the Dustbowl 1930's and the 2020's.  Thus the forecast for another drought during the 2020's.
This same drought forecast was first published here in July 2012 website issue.  
On the current political side, BT hits highs in 2016 and 2018, and so does the economy strengthen and presidential (Trump) approval grow.  All because of a strong Berg Timer.  There's a dip down of BT in 2019, after the 2018 mid-term elections, so politics should not be affected.  Then BT is strong into 2020 and 2021 so it should be a continued strong, but peaking, economy and a second term for President Trump.  
After 2021 it all falls down until 2028.  So during the sliding BT we will have warming temperatures, low precipitation, a weak economy, La Nina (cooling of East Pacific waters), and strong quakes likely.  The long ago forecasted 2020's drought is on our doorstep.  Farming, water, and hydroelectric power concerns, prepare for the worst.  Hope for the best.

In those two days the planets were in a highly symmetrical position never before seen in at least the last 1400 years.  Is it a coincidence that it marked the time of the greatest El Nino in recorded history?  Or the lowest number of hurricanes in 64 years?  Or the beginning of the Modern Warming Period?  It's not a coincidence.  These things were caused by the symmetry of planetary positions as recorded by the Berg Timer.

Solar activity, hurricanes, temperature, the oceans . . . Earth responds to planetary symmetries as documented throughout this website.
Below is the configuration of this historic planetary alignment, one of the strongest examples of the Berg Timer's effect on our environment.



Paintbrush Picture

What Symmetry!  Quite the "Paintbrush Picture" formation.
There are a couple theories out there to describe what's going on here to explain why the Berg Timer works.  The best I think is the electromagnetic one, equating the solar system to a generator.
It's probably new physics.  Or maybe just take away Pluto and you have Grandad's old V-8 motor.
Heliocentric Longitudinal Relationships

All planets except Mercury were within 67 degrees of each other.

Earth and Pluto were conjunct, in the same degree of longitude with respect to the Sun.  So Earth and Pluto were equal degrees away from the other 7 planets.  
Mars and Saturn were also conjunct three days later.

These are the other multiple equal degree separations that occurred:

Venus was 7 degrees away from Neptune
Earth was 7 degrees from Saturn
Saturn was 7 degrees from Pluto
Earth was 8 degrees from both Mars and Jupiter
Mars was 8 degrees from Pluto
Venus was 16 degrees from Uranus
Jupiter was 16 degrees from Saturn

Mercury was equidistant from two or more planets fourteen times during its 10 degree movement from April 14 to 15.
The planets act as a pendulum falling, their movement carving out the curvature of space-time.

" . . . the similarity between an electric generator with its carefully placed magnets and the sun with its ever-changing planets is intriguing.  In the generator, the magnets are fixed and produce a constant electrical current.  If we consider that the planets are magnets and the sun is the armature, we have a considerable similarity to the generator.  However, in this case, the magnets are moving.  For this reason, the electrical-magnetic stability of the solar system varies widely.  This is what one would expect."
- John H. Nelson, RCA Communications.  Cosmic Patterns.  1974.

When you add all of these motions together: the Earth spinning, the Earth revolving around the Sun, the Sun moving around the galaxy, the Milky Way headed towards Andromeda, and the local group being attracted to the overdense regions and repulsed by the underdense ones, we can get a number for how fast we're actually moving through the Universe at any given instant.  We find that the total motion of our galaxy comes out to about 229 miles per second in a particular direction.
Although the Sun orbits within the plane of the Milky Way some 25,000-27,000 light years from the center, the orbital directions of the planets in our Solar System do not align with the galaxy at all.  Our solar system is moving through space at about 43,496 miles per hour.  
And our hair doesn't even get messed up and we don't have to roll up the windows. 
 A great article in Forbes magazine, Aug 30, 2018.
