Default What causes the jet stream?

I really should know this, but I was wondering if someone could tell me what
causes the jet stream to occur? We seem to be blaming the jet stream for our
below average end of June / beginning of July because it is so far south,
but why does the jetstream occur at all and why does it (usually) retreat
north in the summer?

Thanks,

Jeremy
