Climate In the Spotlight Weather Polar vortex, sudden stratospheric warmings and the Beast from the East 03 February 2023 When people hear the phrase ‘sudden stratospheric warming’, many will immediately think about the 'Beast from the East'. However, not all sudden stratospheric warmings are the same, as Gemma Plumb explains. Climate Weather What is wind? 27 January 2023 When we’re talking about the weather, most people want to know if it’s hot or cold, wet or dry. But I would argue that it’s more useful to know what the wind is doing, as it can have a far bigger impact, from dangerous gusts to deadly wind chill Climate Weather Jet stream and stormy weather 27 October 2022 Terrible winter? Blame it on the jet stream. Great summer? Praise be to the jet stream for being in the right place. But what exactly is this jet stream that everyone keeps talking about, and why does it have such a large influence on our weather?
