WRI's New Climatology Reports: Knowing what to Expect

By: Brian Whitley, Senior Meteorologist

Have you ever been tasked with planning a trip to a part of the world that you have never been? Knowing whether the trip is feasible or not just in terms of getting there, and then what kind of weather to expect when you are there, is a big challenge. Let the globally-forecasting experts at WRI help you decide if the trip is achievable and what your best routing options are. Read more...

We have upgraded our reports within the last couple of years, and they are now more easily understood with a mix of simplified text, graphs, and statistics. These graphics include a wind rose with a table that provides the average wind direction and frequency of the wind speed in Beaufort Force, and a table of the likelihood of sea height.

Other tables display what directions the vessel will most likely encounter the weather (such as beam, head or following), favorable and unfavorable currents, and our recommended route on a map. Similar data is displayed graphically if the climatology report is given for a specific region for a certain time of year.

Additionally, a customized voyage map displays WRI's recommended route and the weather features that are expected while underway. If there are any alternative routing options, these will also be plotted on the map.

Of course, the reports also still include a "Conclusions" which wraps up our thoughts and suggestions into a neat and easy to read interpretation. If you have any uncertainties regarding where you may be going within the next week or the next year, WRI can assist in your planning to make it as safe, and pleasurable, a trip as possible.

Wind roses, charts, and graphs, are just some of the ways our climatology studies "paint the picture" in detailing common weather patterns for any area at any time (click to enlarge)
