#NewScientist: “you can blame the #JetStream – the fast-moving air currents that flow west to east around the globe. In October 2024, the polar jet had buckled, trapping a high-pressure anticyclone system over the UK and a low-pressure system over Spain. That isn’t unprecedented: the jet stream buckles from time to time. But even the casual observer might have noticed that weather events seem to be lingering longer across the northern hemisphere, from Europe to North America. Now, #climatescientists are scrambling to figure out whether #globalwarming is making the jet stream more erratic, as some have predicted.” https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg26535264-100-is-a-broken-jet-stream-causing-extreme-weather-that-lasts-longer/
