Description

Extreme weather events have become increasingly common in recent years, sparking intense discussions about climate change. One mysterious agent has risen to prominence: the jet stream. This book explores the story behind this phenomenon, from its origins to its impact on our weather and climate.

The author takes us on a journey along the jet stream, tracing its path around the world and observing how it influences human life in the Northern Hemisphere. We learn about the history of our understanding of wind, from ancient theories to modern computer models, and discuss how climate change is expected to affect the jet stream.

By examining the role of the jet stream in shaping our weather patterns and climate zones, this book sheds light on a key aspect of our changing environment. With clear explanations and insightful analysis, Tim Woollings provides a comprehensive understanding of this complex topic.
