shark, current, southeast trade winds, temperature, birds, southern cross, cyclone it is a windy rainy day cold withal a little boat is putting off from the pier at gravesend and making for a ship that is lying moored in the middle of the river therein are some half-dozen passengers and a lot of heterogeneous looking luggage among the passengers and the owner of some of the most heterogeneous of the luggage is myself the ship is an emigrant ship and i am one of the emigrants on having clambered over the ship's side and found myself on deck i was somewhat taken aback with the apparently inextricable confusion of everything on board the slush upon the decks the crying the kissing the mustering of the passengers the stowing away of baggage still left upon the decks the rain and the gloomy sky created a kind of half amusing half distressing bewilderment which i could plainly see to be participated in by most of the other landsmen on board honest country agriculturists and their wives were looking as though they wondered what it would end in some were sitting on their boxes and making a show of reading tracts which were being presented to them by a serious-looking gentleman in a white tie but all day long they had perused the first page only at least i saw none turn over the second and so the afternoon wore on wet cold and comfortless no dinner served on account of the general confusion the emigration commissioner was taking a final survey of the ship and shaking hands with this that and the other of the passengers fresh arrivals kept continually creating a little additional excitement these were saloon passengers who alone were permitted to join the ship at gravesend by and by a couple of policemen made their appearance and arrested one of the party a london cabman for debt he had a large family and a subscription was soon started to pay the sum he owed subsequently a much larger subscription would have been made in order to have him taken away by anybody or anything little by little the confusion subsided the emigration commissioner left at six we were at last allowed some victuals unpacking my books and arranging them in my cabin filled up the remainder of the evening save the time devoted to a couple of meditative pipes the emigrants went to bed and when at about ten o'clock i went up for a little time upon the poop i heard no sound save the clanging of the clocks from the various churches of gravesend the pattering of rain upon the decks and the rushing of the river as it gurgled against the ship's side early next morning the cocks began to crow vociferously we had about sixty couple of the oldest inhabitants of the hen-roost on board which were intended for the consumption of the saloon passengers a destiny which they have since fulfilled young fowls die on shipboard only old ones standing the weather about the line besides this the pigs began grunting and the sheep gave vent to an occasional feeble bleat the only expression of surprise or discontent which I heard them utter during the remainder of their existence, for now, alas, they are no more.

I remembered dreaming I was in a farmyard and woke as soon as it was light.

Rising immediately, I went on deck and found the morning calm and sulky, no rain but everything very wet and very grey.

Ah

The trade winds

RA TO TUESDAY, MAINLY FINE, WITH CHANCE OF A SHOWER UNTIL AFTERNOON.

EASTERLIES.

RA TE TOHUHUARERE, AND THAT'S YOUR WEATHER.

That was a 95 BFM weather update, thanks to climate change.

The weather agency said the Amihan typically brings cooler and drier conditions, although temperatures may remain relatively warm due to El Niño.

PAGASA is also expecting one to two tropical cyclones in October, with the next names on the list being Rosal and Samuel, while other weather systems such as the ITCZ, Easterlies, and LPAs may still bring rain.

Yeah, you've got it.

Yeah, you're describing the trade winds.

So the trade winds are the prevailing winds in the global tropics.

They typically blow from the east to the west.

And in the equatorial Pacific, those winds are blowing on the ocean.

These Kelvin waves are a symptom of El Nino.

They're actually a driving force of El Nino events.

When we get these weakening of the trade winds, what are called westerly wind bursts, this water is able to propagate back towards South America along the equatorial strip, and that weakens upwelling, which is that cold water that typically comes up from down deep up to the surface of the ocean around kind of the Galapagos Islands.

It isn't a hurricane.

These are trade winds.

You don't brace against trade winds.

You set a sail and you pay attention.

But somebody on that boat still has to chart the course.

Thus, monsoon winds are not reaching the country.

The Easterlies, or warm winds from the Pacific Ocean, is the dominant weather system, particularly over extreme northern Luzon.

Search for at least 129 people missing continues after a ferry overturned in bad weather in Indonesia's Java Sea on Sunday, September 13th.

So far, at least 108 people were rescued, and the bodies of six passengers were recovered as the search operation expanded around the vessel's last known position.
