Logical, it's being fed by cold air coming out of the Antarctic around Cape Horn and
warm and humid air coming down from Brazil.
Here you can see this is one of those lows we spoke about to go down into
the southern ocean and then basically go all the way around the world and
giving rise to the strong westerlies that the southern ocean is famous for.
Okay?
Anyway, it has moved out now which is normal.
They move quite quickly once they're formed,
but they're leaving a bit of a mess behind.
And you can see that on the tracks of the boats around it here.
There's no clearly defined system.
The wake of the low pressure's a bit of a void here.
And as the system slowly reestablishes itself with high pressure forming here,
high pressure over here, it is quite slow going for these boats at the moment.
All right. You can also
see here that this has happened.
Trades here sort of interrupted, as well.
These boats are having a fairly slow ride up.
These boats are not at the Equator, and almost reaching the northeastern trades.
Meanwhile, their are still boats back here.
Imagine this, these boats are in the tropics.
Rain squalls, showers on deck, shorts,
no t-shirt, trouble sleeping at night because it's so hot.
These parts are now still trying to reach Cape Horn.
There's one all the way back here.
Date is the 20th of March.
I mean 20th of March is sort of end of winter first of spring in the northern
hemisphere, but in the southern hemisphere it's the start of the autumn right.
You have to compare it with the 20th of September in the Northern hemisphere.
20th of September it's 56'30º, which is 56'30º is Cape Horn,
that equates to about south of Norway, Scotland, Canada, this
place is by them, starts the summer is definitely gone for a few weeks already.
