Foehn winds usually occur when the westerly wind belt moves northwards. [7]The foehn effect on the coastal plains of southeastern Australia is mostly linked with the passage of a deep low pressure system or westerly cold fronts across the Great Australian Bight and southeastern Australia that cause strong winds to reorient virtually perpendicular to some parts of the Great Dividing Range ...
In the southeast Australian states of New South Wales and Victoria, an intense sea breeze called the southerly buster [7] causes an abrupt, squally southerly wind change, with gusts in excess of 40 knots (74 km/h), in coastal cities such as Sydney in New South Wales south to Mallacoota, Victoria and Melbourne, as it approaches from the ...

Live web cameras around the Myrtle Beach area allow people to watch as severe weather impacts the S.C. coast.
The EAC is a surface current driven by winds over the South Pacific. These winds control how the current behaves at different times of year. The EAC starts on the west edge of the South Pacific Gyre where it collects warm, nutrient-poor water. As it skirts along the east coast of Australia, it carries a large amount of warm tropical water from ...
