steering wheel tightly to keep control of your vehicle through gusts of wind, and keep an eye out for gaps between trees or buildings, where you are more likely to encounter side winds. 10. If in doubt, don’t risk driving through flood water If you’re unsure how deep an area of flooding is, don’t enter

in just a couple of days) in the stratosphere, between 10 km and 50 km up. You may have heard of the jet stream which helps to steer Atlantic weather systems towards the UK. Well there are other jet streams high up in our atmosphere in both the northern and southern hemisphere which circumnavigate

conditions. Blocking patterns are often associated with an amplified jet stream. The jet stream is a fast-flowing ribbon of air high in the atmosphere that helps to steer weather systems around the globe. An amplified jet stream is one that has large waves, or "meanders," which can create areas of high

, aimed at stakeholders including the SPF ExCALIBUR Programme Board and Steering Committee, has been informed by consultation within the Met Office, with UKAEA, and with domain experts from the UKRI community. This Science Plan is intended to complement the ExCALIBUR activities that are funded

. Saturday: Bracing northerlies, sunshine and showers Winds will be the main story on Saturday, especially across the far north of Scotland and along North Sea coasts, where gusts in exposed locations may approach gale force. Many areas will see a brisk, blustery feel. The northerly will also steer

points to a more unsettled and variable period ahead, with a mix of rain, showers, and occasional dry spells. So, let's get into it.  A Shift in the Weather The jet stream, although not particularly strong for this time of year, is currently sweeping across the UK, steering a series of weather systems

. This particular system has become what meteorologists call a “blocking high”—a stationary pattern that prevents other weather systems from moving in. This blocking high has been reinforced by an amplified jet stream—a high-altitude current of fast-moving air that normally helps steer weather systems
