Abstract: An analysis of daily observations of sunshine taken in the central and northeastern United States during the spring and summer indicates the presence of a lunar synodical period. Less than average sunshine is observed during the first and third weeks of the lunar month and more than average sunshine is observed during the second and fourth weeks. Although this lunar period is significant by most statistical tests, the possibility that its appearance is due to a combination of the smoothing procedure and the temporal and spatial correlation among the observations cannot be completely ignored.
