The jet stream also played a role in the 2025 hurricane season. Given its west-to-east wind direction, the southward dip of the jet stream—along with a weak high pressure system over the ...

Tornadoes, winter storms and even hurricanes - chances are you've heard at least one of those phenomena mentioned in the same sentence with the jet stream. Here's a meteorology 101 rundown about what ...

The jet stream, or any wind, is the result of differences in surface temperature. In simple terms, warm air rises, creating low pressure, and cold air sinks, creating high pressure. Wind is the ...

A multi-century climate record suggests that current Atlantic jet-stream variations are not the cause of an increase in extreme weather events. Read the paper: Past hydroclimate extremes in Europe ...

The summer of 2025 brought unprecedented flash flooding across the U.S., with the central and eastern regions hit particularly hard. These storms claimed hundreds of lives across Texas, Kentucky and ...

Dartmouth researchers used machine learning and long-term climate records to construct a timeline of jet-stream variability since 1901. Nearly all prior studies of the jet stream focus on the period ...

(The Conversation) – The summer of 2025 brought unprecedented flash flooding across the U.S., with the central and eastern regions hit particularly hard. These storms claimed hundreds of lives across ...

A new study challenges the idea that climate change is behind the erratic wintertime behavior of the polar jet stream, the massive current of Arctic air that regulates weather for much of the Northern ...
