Bob McDavitt’s ideas for sailing around the South Pacific.

Disclaimer: Weather is a mix of pattern and chaos; these ideas are from the patterned world.

+++++++++++++++

I usually on the first Sunday of each month give you a review of the previous month, but ran out of time today travelling, so will do it next week.

===============

The Tropics

The latest cyclone activity report is at tropic.ssec.wisc.edu and Tropical Cyclone Potential is from www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/TCFP/index.html

Tropical storm CRISTOBAL is affecting USA next few days.

Its reminding us of the season.

There are a few small low to moderate patches of potential development but these are not really expected to come to much

 

WEATHER ZONES

SPCZ=South Pacific Convergence zone.

The SPCZ is active around Solomon Island, over northern Vanuatu, and Fiji, with a passing trough further southeast turning into a low from Thursday.

 

Subtropical ridge (STR)

HIGH 1032 to 1028 expected to enter central Tasman Sea from Australia on Tuesday and travel along 37S and fade near northern NZ from Friday.

Next HIGH 1028hPa to 1035hPa along 45S is expected from Southern Ocean Thursday moving onto central South Island on Saturday then off to the east next week.

 

Tasman Sea /NZ/Aus

Troughs over Southern South Island on Monday and Wednesday/Thursday, and over North Island on Friday.

 

From Panama: Not good this week, SW winds or light winds in Panama, and the ITCZ is visiting at times. It is most active/squally to 5N. I reckon that the best way to tackle these SW winds is to go SSE then west.
