So higher pressure in the warmer places causes air to move to the lower pressure cooler places. I"m willing to buy that - I have noticed more wind in Winter; often wind and rain together. Although, shouldn"t there be wind in both the higher and lower pressure places?
It"s Winter in the whole Northern Hemisphere at the same time and vica versa. Even the hot bits are less hot. Does that mean the rain is constantly travelling across the Equator from the Summer Hemisphere to the Winter one and then the opposite way for the other half of the year?

Thanks for that. The bits I understood showed wind patterns which did not seem to cross the Equator, so I still don"t understand where the rain goes in the Summer. Perhaps it is just a mystery that no-one knows the answer to.
I once spent two weeks in Trinidad from Christmas til the end of the first week of January. It rained every day quite hard from 4pm til 5pm (or maybe it was 5pm til 6pm), but not at all apart from that.

Dear John,
Are you looking forward to getting beaten by all 3 England teams at the home international tournament?

Dear St
Yes indeed, I am looking to this event. Given the record of England teams in APAT competitions, the scenario you suggest would appear unlikely. However, I would be pleased to see England do well this time.
Doing well is, of course, a relative thing. For England, this means not being last yet again. And this is where the organizers have played a blinder on your behalf. With three teams in the competition, it is already guaranteed that two England teams won"t finish bottom, so you are already ahead of your average result in previous events. Congratulations are therefore due to you for what is already England"s best result ever.
John

for my limited understanding its hard to explain :) although i"m pretty sure there are plenty of scientists that know how it all knits together..
my tuppence worth of how the climate works would be the seasonal cycle is complicated ;D
i"ll try and give it a go but forgive my grammar as i write this out quick, for starters the Earth"s axis isn"t always the same thus at different times of the year, different latitudes get the most incoming solar radiation but how a lot of the weather/climate works stems from the equator getting hit by most of the solar radiation due to the angle it hits the earth at, when the sun is overhead at the equator then the northern hemisphere gets most of the the heat then when it shifts to the tropic of cancer the southern hemisphere gets the lions share.. also having a effect is land mass, the oceans and mountain ranges also have an effect on how it all works, the earths rotation plays its part and the atmosphere [from what i know the boffins call it the inter tropical convergence zone] then all this heat spreads from the equator to either poles on the jetstreams, then the oceans play there part in spreading heat ::) god its complicated, my heads hurting lol :) oh add in clouds :) and the fact how land mass and ocean mass effects them ??? the ocean effect i refer to is far as i know is called thermohaline circulation, from what i"ve gathered the boffins aren"t 100% sure exactly how this works...

in short the sun evaporates it into a cloud and it rains again ;) BUT incoming and outgoing radiation CAN determine the temperature of the ocean surface to the air and this part isn"t always guaranteed :"(
ask easier questions :) global warming perhaps? lol
