Basically what I'm saying is that it seems to be that the weather is to relient on randomness.
As in at the equator during winter you'd have Weeks of No rain, and summer very frequent (monsoons).
Bit far away from the Atlantic here, but I remember back in the early 90's were I was living (North Coast NSW - Aust) that we had a whole year with absolutely no rain.

Now I'm not advocating that, but it would be good to see during a caribeen patrol to have at least 2-3 week with No rain, regardless of whether the seas were rough or not.

Just some thoughts.
From what we can work out this is way beyond a tweek. We would have to actually write the code first because, it just does not seem to be there. Amazing isn't it? I still cannot beleive the weather is preuly random with no other consideration.
