'Traffic jams' in air currents cause abnormal weather: Study
Scientists have proposed mysterious weather patterns could be explained by blockages in global flow of air currents called jet streams. On exceeding jet stream capacity, "blocking" occurs which could be modelled for weather forecasts, said researchers. The 2003 European heat wave, California's 2014 drought and Superstorm Sandy in 2012 were caused by the same weather phenomenon, noted researchers.
