With the prevailing south-westerlies, we are now getting all the side effects.
Winds are frequent and salt-laden being moderate easterlies in the summer and fresh to strong westerlies in the winter.
Unlike the westerlies in the middle latitudes, the polar easterlies are often weak and irregular.
As such following the overall direction of the trade winds and westerlies is still very useful.
Weather systems in the westerlies that cause precipitation move along jet stream, which migrates north into the region by summer.
The activity initially progressed westerly and then southeasterly across the study area.
Air flows out from its center toward the upper and lower latitudes of each hemisphere, creating both the trade winds and the westerlies.
Within 24 hours, the circulation dissipated as the system continued eastward through the westerlies.
