Understanding how the jet stream behaved in the past is crucial for figuring out how it might be changing as the Earth heats up.

In summer, the polar jet stream typically shifts northward, leading to warmer weather in regions south of it. By July and August, the jet stream is often located near or north of the United States.

After showing that the method worked reasonably well for predicting the past 60 years of jet stream behavior, they used tree rings to estimate the jet stream’s position going back centuries further.

A multi-century climate record suggests that current Atlantic jet-stream variations are not the cause of an increase in extreme weather events.

NOAA How long these heat domes stick around has a lot to do with the jet stream. The jet stream is in the upper atmosphere, about 30,000 feet above sea level.

The jet stream kind of parks over the Kansas Plains for several days, Wednesday through Sunday which just brings several waves of rain and storm chances for us here around Kansas City into Easter ...

The shifting jet stream has magnified wildfires and plagues. What’s next? New research shows that the patterns of Earth’s high winds have led to serious problems on the ground.
