Hello all,
As we all know, the UK is currently in a heatwave (July 27th). It is remarkable so far for not only its strength of the heat but the duration of the heatwave too (Since around June 19th to July 27th (Current),). The media is reporting interviews from UK meteorologists, asking why we are currently in a heatwave, with many answering that it is due to the jet stream marandering North to the UK, thus allowing hot air from a situated high-pressure system over Central Europe to divert up North towards the UK.
That's all fine and dandy, but I ask "Why is the Jetstream maraundering North and why is it currently so weak?"
So, what do you guys think?
Why are we experiencing such a strong heatwave? As in, what weather drivers are causing it to happen in the first place?
Let's get this discussion going!
