“An active tropical cyclone season in the north Atlantic has helped to amplify the pattern across the north Atlantic, pushing the jet stream well to the north of the UK, allowing some very warm air to be drawn north.

During El Niño, the jet stream tends to shift south of its usual position, amplifying the storm track across the southern tier of the United States.
It’s a marked contrast to the much of meteorological summer when the UK was on the northern side of the jet stream with cooler air and more unsettled weather."

On its website, the Met Office explains: "Usually a few weeks later, we can start to see knock-on effects on the jet stream, which in turn effects our weather lower down (in the troposphere).

Other flights traveling east over the Atlantic Ocean this week have been arriving ahead of schedule, up to an hour early in some cases, thanks to a jet stream that has been blowing in their favor.

The change is due to a jet stream pulling away the wet and windy weather that has plagued the country.

The concept of atmospheric rivers began to emerge in the 1970s, when in the U.K. showed that a low-level jet stream ahead of a cold front was connected to heavy rains in Britain.
The jet stream now is unusually wavy, said Maue and Woodwell Climate Research Center climate scientist Jennifer Francis.
"There will be another seven to 10 days of this unsettled weather as the jet stream comes in from the west giving us periods of rain and showers and moderate temperatures of 20C in the south and 17 to 18C in the north," he said.

When the jet stream is disrupted, it allows cold air to travel further south in part of the Northern Hemisphere, hitting parts of Europe with a freezing spell of cold weather.

Wim Thiery, a professor of climate science at the University of Brussels, said the same jet stream that pulled down cold air from the Arctic into the U.S. has fanned warm air from subtropical zones into Europe.
