The Western Hemisphere.
North Atlantic Vortex and "Beta" dominate this view. Nicaragua is still experiencing clouds and thunderstorms and rain. It is predicted to continue for another week at least. Nicaragua is a friend to Earth. The government embarked on a Rainforest Restoration Project a few years ago. Not a simple project given the shallow root systems of rainforests but one very worthwhile.
There is little interaction between the equator and the Antarctic Vortex but the peripheral reach north is still significant.
