Not that I have ever heard of. Lunar phase does correlate with the average atmospheric temperature over the hemisphere facing the moon because of the additional ‘moon light’ which produces a fraction of a degree of extra heating. But that’s about as much of a physical effect as I have ever heard for the atmosphere.
