The 60-year cycle of eccentricity of Jupiter’s orbit is shown to be closely related to the 60-year cycle of Earth’s climate. Changes in Jupiter’s orbit affect the Earth’s rotation rate. The following phenomena have been shown to be related to these changes: the 1992 El Chicon eruption, the 1991 Pinatubo eruption, the occurrence of strong earthquakes in the period 1900–2022, the AMO
index, low flows in the period 1920–2020 on the Punkva River in the Moravian Karst, precipitation extremes in the Czech Republic after 1995, the catastrophic floods of 2002 in Central Europe, and the unusually long drought of 2014–2019 in Central Europe.
