A fact from Earthquake weather appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 1 October 2004. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that earthquake lights, although described in 373 BC, were not convincingly documented until the 1960s?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2004/October.

California, 70 years

Never had an earthquake during the rainy season. I dunno. They mention hot, dry, and calm in the article. Blondesareeasy (talk) 17:25, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article doesn't describe the phenomenon

I read the article, and I still only have a vague idea of what earthquake weather is. There's no actual "earthquake weather is a condition in which xyz happen" section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.182.24.51 (talk) 19:41, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mainly because it's not true? But the specific types of weather that have been believed to be associated with earthquakes are discussed in the History section. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:04, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's more than that it's not true. There's a general phenomenon of people believing that certain kinds of weather portend earthquakes, but no agreement among those people about which sort of weather it is. What I think of as earthquake weather (not saying I believe in it, just what I think of) is overcast, hot, humid, unusually calm. But apparently there are people who think of it as hot and dry. As far as I know "hot" is common to all variants, but that's about it. --Trovatore (talk) 20:00, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Earthquake cloud

A merge has been proposed between the earthquake cloud article and this one.

Support merge The "cloud" article has little enough content that it can easily be covered within the "weather" article. Mikenorton (talk) 13:05, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Seems reasonable. They can always be split out again if one or the other gets enough content to distinguish itself clearly from the other. I've taken the liberty of bulletting Mikenorton's comment; hope that's OK. --Trovatore (talk) 19:52, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 13:56, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
