Can Arctic warming influence UK extreme weather?

Summary: | We explore a possible relation between the recent Arctic amplification of global warming and changes in North Atlantic jet stream circulation and UK extreme weather conditions over the last decade. Such a link is supported by some tantalising clues from recent North Atlantic atmospheric circulation changes in summer and winter but, due to multiple factors affecting jet-stream variability, we need extended records over at least a further decade to more reliably attribute these changes to global warming. |
