In the Southern hemisphere, the tradewinds come from the South at the level of the equator. |
The aim is to succeed in joining up with the tradewinds present over the Southern edge of the ridge of high pressure. |
Hot equatorial climate, south-east tradewinds blow May to November, but usually calm in the morning. |
Such a separation might seem sizeable, but it should quickly be reduced in the tradewinds of the northern hemisphere. |
If everything goes to plan, the wind should ease a little this afternoon, but the tradewinds will then increase to 17-20 knots before nightfall. |
The final system of breeze should be a little less steady than the current tradewinds so Groupama 3 is likely to make headway in fits and starts at the end of this week. |
