Westerlies Seasonal Variation

06/01/25

“How do the westerlies have seasonal variation?”

The westerlies are a vital part of global air circulation. Temperature differences between the poles and tropics are one of the causes of these winds. During the winter, the temperature differences between these two regions are greater, leading to stronger westerlies winds. This is why Westerlies Seasonal Variation occurs. Storms in the westerlies regions are stronger during the wintertime as a consequence.
