The duration of the voyage went from about six months in the beginning to about six weeks, improving the chance of survival. Some attempted self starvation due to melancholy and the loss of their families, others attempted to jump from the ship into the sea.

Before the passage of a warm front, water conditions typically involve cooler temperatures and can include the presence of clouds and light precipitation. As the warm front approaches, humidity often increases, leading to a rise in temperature and the potential for rain, which can become heavier as the front moves closer. During the passage, conditions can shift to warmer temperatures, with widespread cloud cover and steady rainfall, often resulting in increased water levels in nearby bodies of water due to runoff. After the front passes, conditions usually stabilize with warmer and more humid air.
