WTF is up with the weather? I was watching a weather report the other day and they were saying that the unsettled conditions were due to the jet stream being at abnomally low latitude. They've been saying that every year for the last 5 years & it's not abnormal any more - this seems to be the new normal.
I'd like to know WHY the jetstream sits in this position every summer but I've never heard any credible explanation.
Anyhow, hope they're right about the sunny spell.Comment

Except that there is no discernible trend in any form of weather extreme, or anything else for that matter, other than the global temps (up until 1996 that is).
Something that does frustrate climate scientists who can't point to anything but a temperature trend from 1980 to 1996 and a decline in the Artic ice (without actually having any reliable data prior to 1979 ).Last edited by BlasterBates; 6 July 2012, 05:55.I'm alright JackComment

We were discussing this the other day, and believe the weather has been turning this way for a while. Dry winters, wet summers. I am starting to think we are undergoing climate change, but that no one knows what we're going to get. How many extreme weather phenomenons have we experienced in the past 10 years worldwide, against the previous 10 years.Comment
