Anthropogenic climate change is driving increasingly chaotic weather and the jet stream being more 'wobbly' is just one small part of that. The UK has been fluctuating between hot African airflow and bitter Arctic blasts as each low pressure system rolls on in from the Atlantic thanks to this 'wobbliness' in the jet stream.
Our flora and fauna must be really confused but at least us humans can wrap up warm when we need to.
We just had the wettest March on record followed by as much rain in the first half of April as you would expect for the whole of April. Still, this is nothing compared to the Middle East yesterday. Dubai and the UAE saw two years worth of rainfall in just one day! This is at just 1.5C above pre-industrial levels. The majority of climate scientists now say that +2C is baked in now due to lack of action on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. I dread to think the chaos yet to come.
Take care everyone.
