The Jet Stream map shows today's high wind speed levels and jetstream directions. Jet streams are fast flowing, relatively narrow air currents found in the atmosphere around 10 kilometers above the ...

The summer of 2025 brought unprecedented flash flooding across the U.S., with the central and eastern regions hit particularly hard. These storms claimed hundreds of lives across Texas, Kentucky and ...

Climate scientists have long watched the jet stream with fascination and growing concern. These rivers of air racing across our planet at altitudes of roughly 5-9 miles dictate much of our day-to-day ...

One of the most notable properties of the giant planets in our solar system—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune—are the extreme winds observed around their equators. While some of these planets have ...

The jet stream, or any wind, is the result of differences in surface temperature. In simple terms, warm air rises, creating low pressure, and cold air sinks, creating high pressure. Wind is the ...

Jupiter does not sit still. Its atmosphere races around the planet in more than 20 east-west jet streams, with winds reaching about 100 meters per second, more than three times faster than the ...

When the bubonic plague reached England in the summer of 1348 — spread by fleas, lice, or infected humans, according to the latest theories — it reached a breeding ground for disease. Londoners’ ...

The jet stream also played a role in the 2025 hurricane season. Given its west-to-east wind direction, the southward dip of the jet stream—along with a weak high pressure system over the ...
