Description

The jet stream, a rapidly moving band of air exists high within the atmosphere and plays a crucial role in shaping our weather patterns. It functions similarly to a steering wheel: guiding storms and temperature fluctuations across the globe. Changes in the jet stream can result in extreme weather conditions, such as heatwaves, heavy rainfall, or cold snaps. These shifts are often connected to global warming because rising temperatures disrupt the equilibrium of the atmosphere. Understanding the jet stream is essential, however, as it allows us to prepare for the changing weather and its effects on our lives.
