Warm, sunny and prevailing wind defined
This morning it is partly cloudy. Fog early. High of 81F. Winds from the NW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 20%.
Tonight it will be clear. Low of 57F. Winds from the WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
The readings from my own weather instruments are:
The humidity is 76% with a Dew Point of 61ºF and a temp of 70.4ºF.
Our wind direction is West between 0.6 MPH and 1.0 MPH.
Our Barometric pressure is 29.87 HPA 1008 and falling with a weather graphic indicating rain.
The UV rating is 0 out of 16, Sunrise is at 6:04 a.m. sunset is 7:12 PM and Moon Rise is at 2:57 p.m. EDT and the moon phase is in its first quarter.
For the pilots out there raw metar is:
METAR KAUG 031053Z AUTO 29004KT 10SM CLR 19/16 A2977 RMK AO2 SLP081 T01890161
Visibility is 10.0 miles/16.1 Kilometers with clear skies.
We received no rain here over the past 24 hours.
Ever wonder what "Prevailing Winds" means?
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 .
Formation of Prevailing Winds :
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.
Path of Prevailing Winds :
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
Jet Streams are prevailing winds which are very swift currents of the higher level.
