Weather/climate info for a region...?

Baiyer River itself is surrounded by huge mountains on all sides and runs from from center of Western Highlands in Papua northward, staying with the mountains the whole time, until it runs into the Ramu River in the Northern lowlands (Sepik). I will look for local rain gauge and Met station data.

 

Jon, I know it says relief data incomplete, but this topo map section might help. There is an indication that that river lies in more scrub like or grassland areas with little forest cover.

 

Here is mean annual temp data for Wabag, 30 miles West of the Baiyer River, at ~2000 m

 

Jon, I presume you've checked Google Earth for elevation. Unfortunately, I don't see elevation for that area. Looking in my atlas it appears the area is c. 2000 M ASL with elevations 4000 M ASL, and more, within a few kilometers. I'd expect that cooler air would pool in the river valley. I estimate RH to be 400%.

 

Please keep us updated.
