THE world could be in for a bumpy ride next week with an "extreme supermoon" predicted to cause weather chaos.
The moon will pass just 221,567 miles away on March 19 - its closest for 18 years.
Some amateur scientists warn it could trigger extreme conditions all over the world, from earthquakes to tsunamis.
Previous supermoons - or "lunar perigees" - happened in 1955, 1974, 1992 and 2005. Each year had extreme weather events.
TV weatherman John Kettley said: "A moon can't cause a geological event like an earthquake, but it will cause a difference to the tide.
"If that combines with certain weather conditions, then that could cause a few problems for coastal areas."

It just happened in 2005 and we are still here,
It has happened thousands of times throughout history and we are still here.
It may be an opportunity to have a large moon illusion occur.
Look for the moon as it rises and it may appear much larger than normal, espceailly if it is a full moon.
It is a trick of the eye, but most people see it at the same time.
Because of perspective and objects on the horizon, The moon can appear to fill the sky.
Here is a picture of how it can appear to the human eye, even if the picture itself has been altered.
