JG3 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Someone already posted a link to this excellent real-time Global Wind Map, but it quickly got buried under some other threads. It's so fascinating and useful that I'm posting it again. Click and drag to tour the globe, use scroll wheel to zoom in, click anywhere for a wind speed. Zoom in on eastern Australia and see the massive SE'r that we're now experiencing, and have a look at South Australia to see where the high temps are coming from. Then go to the north Atlantic and see what Ireland is facing. Fascinating! http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/1000hPa/orthographic=151.63,0.01,273 JG 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultralights Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 love how the winds and speeds at 70 to 10 HPA travel in completely opposite directions to the usual weather directions, and the wind in the southern hemisphere is pretty uniform compared to the winds in the northern half at those altitudes.
