This exists during the summertime prevailing conditions (which are the current long-range forecast).
Can folks confirm or deny that? |
I don't know about a band of S-wind, but the upwelling does occur - it's an important factor in the California current ecosystem. It's reasonably possible that such a wind system would exist - possibly generated by the sea breeze cycle.
