Cloudy and rainy morning
Good Morning Augusta, its raining again out there.
This morning it is overcast with rain showers and Fog. High of 46F. Winds
from the SSE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 90%.
Tonight it will be overcast with a chance of rain. Low of 37F. Winds less
than 5 mph. Chance of rain 60%.
The readings outside right now, taken from my own weather instruments:
a relative humidity of 90% with a Dew Point of 40.1ºF.
The temperature is 45.2ºF with a very low wind chill.
Presently we have Southwest winds between 0.3 mph and 1.7 mph.
Our Barometric pressure is 30.12 and falling with a weather graphic
indicating clouds.
We had precipitation in the past hour of 0.04 inches and 0.07 inches
overnight.
Visibility is 5.0 miles with clouds to 4,900 feet, mostly cloudy to 7,500
feet and overcast to 9,000 feet.
Speaking of wind, what about "prevailing winds"?
Prevailing Winds are those winds which are formed as a result of various
circulation patterns of the globe and they are a notable feature of weather
phenomenon .
Prevailing winds are caused due to the unequal heating of the surface of the
Earth. As the hot air goes up, cooler air moves to substitute it. In this
way wind is formed. On reaching the Earth's troposphere the wind takes an
orbital course around the Earth. The differences in heating gives rise to
air circulations which flow from the equator to the poles in the upper parts
of the atmosphere and vice versa in the lower parts.
Prevailing winds generally blow from one region having high pressure to
another which has low pressure. They do not follow the direct route from
north to south between the belts of pressure. This happens because of the
deflection of airflow by Coriolis force.
Types of Prevailing Winds :
"Trade Winds" In olden days, sailors heavily depended on these prevailing
winds to sail from Europe to America. The northeast trade winds are found
between the latitudes of 30 to 0°N and the southeast trade winds occur
between 0 to 30°S latitudes.
"Westerlies" These prevailing winds are found below the Ferrel circulation
cell in the mid latitudes.
"Polar Easterlies" are prevailing winds that are permanent cold winds which
form a part of the polar circulation cell. These winds can mix with the Gulf
Stream to form very violent and strong tornadoes and thunderstorms.
"Jet Streams" are prevailing winds which are very swift currents of the
higher level.
