Down-Under Forecasting • Remember the time and season differences – nearly 13 hours on the clock and 6 months on the calendar (late spring) • Mainly maritime climate, but modified by mountains on the South Island • Weather systems still move from west to east, but spin the opposite way…so a SW wind is a cold, dry wind • Use the EAVN3 for guidance following the format EAVN3> LAT S, LON E 12z
