Is there any difference in meaning between "ought to" and "should"?
I've read somewhere that "ought to" is more common to be used when we talk about a moral obligation. For example: "Children ought to respect their parents" but "It's cold outside, you should take a sweater".
In all the other sources I've checked it isn’t mentioned and actually they say that "ought to" can be used instead of should (and add that it is less common than should and more likely to be used in British English)
