Here’s what a heat dome is, how it’s different from a heat wave and how hot it has to get for each region of Florida to issue ...

Researchers uncover how climate change impacts the “weather motor”. Jet streams are often referred to as the “motor” of ...

Most of the continent is facing an absence of active weather and strong storms. Instead, there’s a prolific influx of mild air, compliments of the jet stream. If you’re on the receiving end of the ...

Earth’s jet streams — currents of air that wrap around the planet — are worrying some climate scientists, who this week described the pattern as “chaotic,” “insane” and looking like ...

The jet stream itself exists because of temperature differences between the tropics and the poles. Warm air rising out of lower latitudes flows toward higher latitudes in nature’s everlasting efforts ...

Many pilots also look at the upper-level jet streams along their route for signs of wind shear, then plan to fly above, below or around those areas, he said. Modern planes are strong enough to ...

CREDIT: NOAA. When the jet stream dips southwards towards the equator, that movement can generate a low-pressure system and help move the heat dome further east and out into the ocean.

The Southern Hemisphere’s eddy-driven jet (EDJ), a critical force shaping weather patterns across South America, Southern Africa, Australia, and Oceania, is undergoing significant changes. This ...

But the most common turbulence experienced by flyers has three common causes: mountains, jet streams, and storms. Just as ocean waves break on a beach, air also forms waves as it encounters mountains.

When a jet stream’s north and south loops become too big, they slow or stagnate, stalling the high-pressure system that then forms the top of the heat dome. (Heat waves kill people.
