The dictionary defines the jet stream as strong, generally westerly winds concentrated in a relatively narrow and shallow ...

Explaining the lower maximum winds is a bit of a puzzle, including natural variability. The Jet Stream, which moves to different positions over periods of years may have a role.

In the map below, that zone of unsettled weather would be located over the central U.S., where the stronger jet stream winds are indicated in orange and red.

In addition, global warming plays a role in the jet stream’s wind speeds. The team is also looking into how these factors influence the jet stream in other parts of the world, for example over the ...

Astronomers detected 20,500 mph jet-stream winds on exoplanet WASP-127b. WASP-127b, a "hot Jupiter," orbits its star every four days, facing intense radiation.

The weather is about to get windier, which doesn’t bode well for those running ice cream vans. The Met Office forecast that ...

It is the fastest wind ever measured in a jet stream that goes around a planet. In comparison, the fastest wind ever measured in the solar system was found on Neptune, moving at "only" 0.5 km per ...

The conditions high in the atmosphere were also conducive for an epidemic. The jet stream, the band of winds that sails above Europe, had shifted dramatically northward, bringing two years of cool ...

This time of year, the winds in Colorado historically pick up, but this March has given us more than our fair share of blustery days. JET STREAM WIND SPEED ...

The comparable high-altitude winds on Neptune reach about 1,200 miles (2,000 km) per hour. Those, however, are a mere breeze compared to the jet-stream winds on a planet called WASP-127b.
