| Comment | We're not in for decent summers. We're in for something similar to India's or south east Asia's erratic wet season.
The projection is that the higher ocean temperatures will lead to a much more erratic (wavy) jet stream. Why does this matter to us? When the jet stream is north of us we have warm mid Atlantic winds and moisture coming our way. When it's south of us we have an arctic chill.
The winds from the south west will be much wetter and warmer = much more rain and muggy weather when they pass over us.
The jet stream being more erratic (sliding up and down the latitudes in a short period) means the weather will switch between this muggy wetness and arctic chill much more frequently. The erratic flow of the jet stream will also lead to more storms coming our way.
This is just what's in store for us (since the jet stream is almost always right above us, and has such an immediate effect on our local climate). Other parts of the world will experience different changes. |
