Here's another strangely beautiful image from the National Weather Service: a water vapor map of the Pacific - which I'm crossing tonight, diagonally from northeast to southwest! (My destination Melbourne's just off the bottom edge; as ever - and noted in my very first blog post - the Equator is two-thirds of the way down down the map.) Very different shaped weather systems in the Northern winter and the Southern summer! Wish me a good flight. I'll try to check when I arrive, Thursday in Australia but still Wednesday here in the US.
