    Default World Weather Patterns Input

    Attached is a WIP of a world long in the works and finally making it into Photoshop. What I have slapped down here are the major continents and islands with a rough pass of the ocean surface currents in light blue. Also, you will find the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn as well as arctic and antarctic lines. The highlighted Equatorial belt is the baseline ITCZ 5 degrees north and south of the equator.

    My primary curiosity is what kind of weather would we expect where the ITCZ runs between the two continents? The ITCZ would likely produce thunderstorms 3-4 pm most days through here, and what would the sailing be like?

    The world is earth sized with typical trade winds etc, no major deviances from Earth there.

    NOTE: that area with red and blue lines in the northwest between two continents is supernatural, so reality concerns there are limited, LOL.

    Other than that! Any and all thoughts on ocean currents, winds and weather would be greatly appreciated.
