    Wip WIP - Critique my on-shore winds for areas of rain.

    I'd appreciate any input on my areas of on-shore winds (shaded) as part of determining precipitation.

    You can see the ICTZ, Polar fronts, winds, and high pressure regions.

    I didn't include areas of baseline rain, rain from the ICTZ, ocean currents, or rain from orographic lifting.

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    With no highs on land in the north, but a high on that southern landmass, I'm guessing this is northern summer (July)? The ITCZ is diverting northward, too, so northern summer.

    Bear in mind that even with onshore winds a coast with a cold current doesn't get much rainfall. Very roughly, 15-30 degrees on west coasts will be dry deserts. Very roughly.

    You may want to check out the gigantic climate brainstorm here. You'll get better feedback if you include all your climate work, such as currents, temperatures, etc.
