Europe’s String of Extreme Heat Waves Linked to Jet Stream

Heat waves in Europe have increased three to four times faster than elsewhere, according to new research.

The extreme heat in Spain, the UK and France this summer was made worse by changes in the jet stream, the strong westerly winds that blow above the planet’s surface, highlighting another way in which global warming could be altering our climate.

Western Europe is a heat wave hotspot, with extreme high-temperature events rising three to four times faster than other northern latitudes over the past 42 years, according to a paper published in Nature Communications by researchers from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. 

The weather was linked for the first time to the splitting of the jet stream in the Northern Hemisphere, which has become more common.

Ungefär så har det alltid låtit och sett ut på väderkartan så länge jag kan minnas.

Men nu tycker jag väderkartan ser annorlunda ut.

Vindarna kommer från nord, och från öst och från sydväst, hur som helst.
