Good day! I was wondering if you would be able to refer me to an online source for understanding weather in the Caribbean–rainy season and dry season, and what exactly triggers the onset of each. Any direction you could give would be much appreciated! Thanks, Tim
Hi Tim: Tropical weather works with the same mechanisms around the world–so, if you understand it for one area, you will know what’s going on in others. At the risk of self promoting, our own book, Mariner’s Weather Handbook, has a pretty good tropical weather section. You can also check out the Tropical Prediction Center web site (available in SetSail weather links) for specific fax charts. They also have articles from time to time on their sight about the Carib. Weather cycles. Regards–Steve Dashew
