are expected to rise again over the weekend. 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

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

. 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

. 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

the new climate projections out to 2100. This included the PRP providing a steer on a range of science questions to ensure the quality of the final products. Two UKCP18 user groups were also established to capture the requirements of government and non-government users. The Government User Group

, that fast-moving ribbon of air high in the atmosphere, is helping to steer these weather systems towards us. This week, the jet stream will play a key role in pushing areas of low pressure across the country, bringing spells of rain and strong winds, particularly to southern regions. On Tuesday, one area

the Atlantic. This powerful ribbon of wind is being fuelled by repeated outbreaks of cold air over eastern Canada and the northeastern United States. As a result, the Atlantic is becoming a breeding ground for areas of low pressure, which are then steered towards the UK. These low-pressure systems
