Jet streams are fast flowing, narrow air currents found in the upper atmosphere or in troposphere of some planets , including Earth . The main jet streams are located near the altitude of the tropopause . The major jet streams on Earth are westerly winds (flowing west to east). Their paths typically have a meandering shape; jet streams may start, stop, split into two or more parts, combine into one stream, or flow in various directions including the opposite direction of most of the jet. The strongest jet s
What is the jet stream, where is it located and how does it affect our weather? Wet or dry summers are all to do with the positioning of the jet stream. In this video, we look in detail at the Polar Front Jet, which strongly influences the weather over the UK and Europe.
