I'm sure that the phrase "jet stream" will be cropping in many conversations
about the weather in the coming years, you can easily picture one old dear
saying to another in a bus queue "I know Enid the weather has been simply
terrible, and you know it's all down to the orientation of the Jet stream
over Iceland you know".

=========================

Didn't we get a bad summer a few years ago when even people in the bus queue
were blaming the Jet Stream?

I monitored the jet stream for a few months and the weather here did seem to
be bad - wet and windy - when the jet stream was passing over the UK. It is
also hot here in summer when the Jet Stream is to the north of us.

The current Jet Stream is shown he
