Miami to Venice Weather?

[khuselid]

Hey all,

 

Not sure if this is a good place to ask this question. We are cruising March 19-April 14 Miami to Venice. Wondering what we can expect for weather on this crossing? It's a first for us, although we have done the Spain, Greece etc before, just haven't done a southern crossing before!

 

Thanks, Kim

-1,5 to 2 F decrease per day  starting at Miami  Expect 85 in miami  and 60-65 in venice with rain  once past the Azores to me intermittent every few days  with windy days. likely   You will be heading into the current with more roll as you pass Azores.   

 Likewise   returning  to Miami  it will be a following sea and a good ride.

 I suggest a cabin on Starboard side, as it is more wind sheltered   

 The reverse is true Venice to Miami   Be on Port. and it will + 1.5-2 F daily

Don’t forget the sea conditions: smooth as glass unless it’s not.

Yup... and on sunny days you will have clear sky too

Except that on clear early mornings, it’s “increasing light followed by increasing dark” in the evening.

I like the joke............but for serious sailors there are published  what are called pilot charts with historic  weather on each sector of the grid,( you remember the grid don't you  " fire for effect..) for navigators .   Too a publication  Sailing Routes of the World...    gives even more.       Us  "squids" remember stuff.

it means unsettled weather between the Azores  as you get closer to the continents   Same happens in the US coast and Australia...     look up advection .
