Santo Domingo, about 100 miles east of the center of Odette, continues to have winds blowing from the north, which is opposite the circulation of Odette. Ships just offshore Santo Domingo have SE-SSE winds of 30-40 kts. Is the anemometer shielded from south winds, or maybe there is some local effect that prevents southerly winds from reaching the city?
