The Jet stream

Any one fancy a look at where all the rain is coming from, here's a handy site that shows where the jet stream is.

It is moving north now, it was below the south coast, running up the channel, so with a bit of luck we may get some better weather in a week or two.

Fickle thing the jetstream, except for the last few summers!.... the consistency will remind folk that global warming has other consequences. Parts of the USA are in drought and excessive heat and we get the rain.

The jetstream also causes the storms to roll off the Rockies southward to generate the rotational movement of air mass to then spawn super cells & tornado's.

Roll on the summers of 76 /77 jetstream well north of the uk & high pressure static over most of europe. Made for some great sailing but then again in August 79 hit 55 foot waves in the Irish Sea!!.

Cheers

Iv'e just had a look and it's looking a bit confused, it's broken into bits.

I hope it sorts itself out!

looks like jet stream vortices to me, they usually settle down fairly quickly, hopefully much further north!!
