Almost-full-moon day, two days after perigee, is very windy from the south, with a blanket of stratus clouds; the wind is cold. Then a few hours after the moon has passed full, and almost reached peak north, the wind turns south east, still strong, with alto clouds. The next day the wind stays south east and warm all day. The next day the wind is easterly with clearer skies in the morning, turning grey later as the moon reaches peak north or, from our perspective, descends towards the earth.

The next days there are clouds, rain, northerly then north westerly winds; a tropical low reaches down from the north—from the equator.
