Saw a proggy last night about the jet stream. Was quite an eye opener how much impact it has on the weather.
The warmer winters can be attributed to the jet stream not creating a blocking effect due to it not snaking around the UK but passing straight over it or close by.
The 1987 storm and it's lack of prediction was caused by the jet stream dragging a weather front over the atlantic faster and further north than anticipated.
Global warming in the UK can be attributed to the jet stream gradually moving further north so we get warmer weather. The factors controlling the jet stream's movements and speed are as yet unestablished, so no-one can say whether it is global warming that's causing the stream to move north.
