Historical Weather

January 26, 2023

A reddit user (u/mrcschwering) on the SailboatCruising subreddit just posted about the new historical weather site they developed. It’s amazing!

Historical Weather from https://www.prevailing-winds.de/

It has the last five years of weather data. Click on a point on the map and on the right, you get a summary, winds, or waves for that area during the month selected. Above are the winds for April near Darwin (where we are now).

We’re trying to get to far northern Indonesia and we’re reading and hearing so many conflicting things about when it’s best to go to this area. This website makes it pretty clear that the earliest is March and April might be better.

Here’s a link to the site.
