Observed average surface pressure and winds during July

Semi-permanent pressure areas:

  1. Bermuda-Azores High

  2. Pacific High

  3. Iclandic Low

QUESTIONS FOR THOUGHT:

1.   How do the strength and position of these feature differ from July to January

2.  Why is the ITCZ further North in July and January??
