WeatherFlow: Understanding the Trade Winds in the Caribbean

Tempest

Summary

The Trade Winds in the Caribbean are driven by the North Atlantic High-pressure system, also known as the Bermuda High. It creates reliable winds on the southern flank, which historically were utilized by sailing ships to travel to the new world.
The presence of deep low-pressure storm systems east of the USA can alter wind directions in the Caribbean, causing variations in wind data from the WeatherFlow-Tempest sensors.
