• Twelve steps to safer driving this winter

  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

• What is a Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW)?

  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 the Earth from west to east. One of these, the Polar

• What is a Sudden Stratospheric Warming?

  Stratospheric Warming (SSW) is sometimes linked to the onset of cold weather in winter. The term SSW refers to what we observe, rapid warming in the stratosphere, between 10 km and 50 km altitude. You may have heard of the jet stream which helps to steer Atlantic weather systems towards the UK. Well

• Weather trends: blocking highs and the amplified jet stream

  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 and low pressure. When the jet stream dips down

• When will it rain next?

  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. When the jet stream becomes wavy or “meanders

• Met Office Weather Deep Dive: A change is on the way

  . A deeper look at the meteorological drivers behind the change shows a strengthening jet stream, influenced by a sharp temperature gradient across North America, is helping to steer low pressure systems toward the UK. This will bring more unsettled weather through the Bank Holiday weekend, especially
