The heat of summer is tempered in the south by the winds from the Gulf of Mexico, and in the north by the elevation above the sea.

In the late spring and early fall, strong offshore winds of sinking air typically develop, bringing heat and dryness to the area.

Excessive heat and humidity are tempered somewhat by a steady flow of the northeast trade winds, which periodically develop into hurricanes.

In the Caribbean lowlands, the only relief from the year-round heat and humidity comes during December or January when an occasional strong cold front from the north ( a norte ) brings several days of strong northwest winds and slightly cooler temperatures.

This transfer of heat in the Tropical continental airmass ( CT ) in turn, causes the wind to expand and become lighter as this is the normal behaviour for winds moving above intensely heated grounds.

The size of the blaze generated extremely strong winds and heat, which ignited rooftops far ahead of the actual flames.

As an area of research and development, arid-zone agriculture, or desert agriculture, includes studies of how to increase the agricultural productivity of lands dominated by lack of freshwater, an abundance of heat and sunlight, and usually one or more of extreme winter cold, short rainy season, saline soil or water, strong dry winds, poor soil structure, over-grazing, limited technological development, poverty, political instability.

Atmospheric models calculate winds, heat transfer, radiation, relative humidity, and surface hydrology within each grid and evaluate interactions with neighboring points.

They are notable for north-facing chalky slopes that derive heat from the warm winds rising from the valleys below.

Prevailing winds from the south and southeast bring both heat from the deserts of Mexico and moisture from the Gulf of Mexico.

The atmosphere is always warm, but fierce heat waves ( temperatures above 38 ° C ) are not very common, since the prevailing Etesian winds (" Meltemia ") blow from northern directions and pleasantly moderate the conditions.

* Planting or building windbreaks to slow winds near buildings, which prevents heat loss.

The effect of mountain topography on prevailing winds is to force warm air from the lower region into an upper zone where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow, rain or hail.

The combination of wind, heat, and dryness accompanying the Santa Ana winds turns the chaparral into explosive fuel feeding the infamous wildfires for which the region is known.

Like the Santa Ana, these winds also heat up by compression and lose humidity, but since they start out so extraordinarily cold and dry and blow over snow and ice all the way to the sea, the perceived similarity is negligible.

" The name " Santa Ana Winds " is said to be traced to Spanish California, when the winds were called devil winds due to their heat.

The climate is continental with great extremes of heat in summer and of cold in winter, when fierce north and north-west winds blow across the plains.

Atmospheric models calculate winds, heat transfer, radiation, relative humidity, and surface hydrology within each grid and evaluate interactions with neighboring points.

Summers are hotter, as the landlocked area becomes a heat island, and the temperature rises even further when hot, dry foehn winds blow over the Ibuki Mountains from the Kansai region.

The heat, however, is greatly modified on the coast by the south-east trade winds.

The climate though damp is healthy, while the heat, being tempered by the trade winds, is milder than that of the Philippines ; the variations of temperature are not great.

In addition to the winds and the heat, an important factor in the rapid spread of the fire was that it started in an area that was at an interface between developed and undeveloped land.

Meditation on this syllable is the key component of the practice of Tummo, or inner heat, where the subtle winds are made to enter the central channel, and rise up to the top of the channel, in an experience akin to that of ' raising the kundalini ' in Hindu terminology, melting the subtle white drop in the crown, and causing the experience of great bliss.

It is not, as noted in the Atlas of Venezuela: A Spatial Image ( Atlas de Venezuela: Una imagen espacial, also known as El Atlas de Petróleos de Venezuela ), an ecosystem of " paleodunas ", literally ' old dunes ,' formed in an environment with a much drier climate than the current one, but a mechanism of dune formation that acts only in the dry season since the lowering of the water level of the Orinoco at the rivers ' lowest point, especially that of those that originate in the llanos, extensive beaches of fine sand are left behind, that the trade winds very quickly will transfer to the southeast, forming what now constitutes el Parque Nacional Santos Luzardo ( the Santos Luzardo National Park ), which takes its name from one of the main characters in the famous novel Doña Bárbara by Rómulo Gallegos.

The increasing eastward momentum imparted by the winds causes water parcels to drift outwards from the axis of the Earth's rotation ( in other words, northward ) as a result of the Coriolis force.

The most basic stressors include: high winds, extreme temperatures, drought, flood, and other natural disasters, such as tornados and wildfires.

The other rainy season is between December and June, when the northeast trade winds are common during this season, only altitudes above 600m tend to receive regular rain.

" And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

* The low drift velocity of charge carriers is analogous to air motion ; in other words, winds.

The oars were a key advantage as they would enable the Adventure Galley to manoeuvre in a battle when the winds had calmed and other ships were dead in the water.

These winds can affect Dublin, but due to its easterly location it is least affected compared to other parts of the country.

Netherlandish Proverbs | One winds on the distaff what the other spins ( Both spread gossip ) by Pieter Bruegel the Elder

* Spektakel ( 1970 ) for improvisational ensemble ( saxophone bass clarinet, viola, bass guitar, electronic organ piano, percussion other instruments ), small orchestra ( 12 winds, 4 horns, 6 percussion )

He describes the meteorological character of the sky, the planets and constellations, the sun and moon, the lunar phases indicating seasons and rain, the anwa ( heavenly bodies of rain ), and atmospheric phenomena such as winds, thunder, lightning, snow, floods, valleys, rivers, lakes, wells and other sources of water.

The Sun and other stars with magnetic fields and stellar winds have a solar magnetopause or heliopause where the stellar environment is bounded by the interstellar environment.

Factors that can cause nitrate buildup in plants are frost, hail damage, drought, hot dry winds, pesticide damage, herbicide damage and any other plant stunting environmental causes.

During this time of invention, winds and brass were expanded, and had an increasingly easy time playing in tune with each other: particularly the ability for composers to score for large masses of wind and brass that previously had been impractical.

" And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Orientation also should take into consideration other structures and features on the site, neighbouring property, vehicle and pedestrian traffic and prevailing winds.

This effort resulted in positive changes, as the heavy winds and cool summers in the Faroe Islands did not allow the growth of trees from other regions in the world.

However, this effect is lessened in the winter by the fact that Lake Erie freezes over in most winters ( unlike the other Great Lakes ), coupled with prevailing winds that are often westerly.

Decisive for the climate of Zurich are both the winds from westerly directions, which often result in precipitation and, on the other hand, the Bise ( east or north-east wind ), which is usually associated with high-pressure situations, but cooler weather phases with temperatures lower than the average.

This lowering becomes a funnel, which continues descending while winds build near the surface, kicking up dust and other debris.

They prevent frigid, dry Arctic winds blowing south into the subcontinent, which keeps South Asia much warmer than corresponding temperate regions in the other continents.

* May 13 – Christopher Columbus, an experienced mariner and successful trader in the thriving Genoese expatriate community in Portugal, marries Felipa Perestrelo Moniz ( Italian on her father's side ) and receives as dowry her late father's maps and papers charting the seas and winds around the Madeira Islands and other Portuguese possessions in the Ocean Sea.

Most driftwood is the remains of trees, in whole or part, that have been washed into the ocean, due to flooding, high winds, or other natural occurrences, or as the result of logging.

The terra Australis is therefore the southernmost of all other lands, directly beneath the antarctic circle ; extending beyond the tropic of Capricorn to the West, it ends almost at the equator itself, and separated by a narrow strait lies on the East opposite to New Guinea, only known so far by a few shores because after one voyage and another that route has been given up and unless sailors are forced and driven by stress of winds it is seldom visited.

The rudder is used mainly to balance the plane in turns, or to compensate for winds or other effects that tend to turn the plane about the yaw axis.

The rest of the pyroclastic material along with of other matter, was blown as far as into the air where winds distributed it as far away as eastern Nebraska and Kansas.
