Cambium's posts aren't spam; a large portion of my forum usage here is responding to his "spam" posts.

Weird maybe, but interesting.. anyway most of Australia is still quite mild/warm during NH summer anyway.

I agree with nei that I would be more likely to respond to posts in the seasonal threads if they were merged.. I never click on the SH seasonal threads as there are hardly any posts there.. if they were merged then there would be a bit more variety and interest in there, IMO.

With all due respect, Australia is so far away that it doesn't have any influence on my weather or have any relevance. I rarely think about it.

There are some places that I don't exactly care about and thats just natural.

But the US is also far away and doesn't really influence your weather

I'd just like to see some variety in the threads

This forum also lack of tropical posters. I created the tropics thread almost half a year ago, only 2 pages or so

If you go to a forum from a site devoted to weather, the thread are usually more detailed and technical than here but are specific to one region — I'd say the main plus of this forum in actual content is having users discuss their weather from around the world. Though yes, it's biased towards English speaking areas and Europe. We do get some South American posters, but mainly from subtropical / borderline tropical areas.

No you're wrong. American weather reaches me via the jetstream. Canadian weather has an even bigger influence on me, especially in winter.


Polar maritime air is the most common type of air mass affecting the British Isles. The air has its source in the Canadian Arctic or the Greenland area. It reaches the British Isles from the west or north-west after having swung around the western side of a depression. As the cold air travels over the relatively warm sea, it is warmed from below and becomes unstable. Unstable airstreams tend to produce convection, and so cumulus clouds, cumulonimbus clouds and showers are likely in polar maritime air. Other characteristics of the air are that it is cool (especially in summer), fairly moist and associated with good visibility.

mT air is more common in the south. Our prevailing winds come from the SW, not the NW.
