Go South! From the equator deep into the high latitudes, these weather links cover the South Atlantic including parts of South America and Africa 24 hour forecast for Wind and direction in both the north and south Atlantic, thanks to the ocean modelling branch of NOAA. (forecasts use the AVN model). Also: 48 hour forecast, 72 hour forecast, 96 hour forecast. Surface pressure for the South Atlantic Ocean thanks to Ocean weather. Data includes contours of mean sea level pressure (in millibars) taken from the National Center of Environmental Prediction's Aviation Model. These maps are plotted every 3 hours, and are available approximately 1 hour after valid time. Infra red satellite picture of South America (focus on the land mass, rather than the South Atlantic, unfortunately). The Aviation Weather Centre offers these terrific flight level charts SIGWX) which show the position of jet streams over much of the globe (mostly Northern Hemisphere). Because upper level winds, like the jet stream, steer our weather systems, knowing where these winds are and how they are behaving helps us to understand whether systems are moving east to west quickly or whether they will stalling because of a kink in the pipe-line.
