- basisword 3y agoYep. We hear about the jet stream regularly in the UK. I see the El Niño stuff lots online but no idea what it is or if it impacts UK/Europe.
- HWR_14 3y agoEl Nino/La Nina refer to Pacific Ocean current patterns, and thus matter especially to people on the Pacific coasts. You hear about it because this includes people in California and Washington US states (among others), which are overrepresented on this board, as well as all of China, Japan, South East Asia etc. However, they can produce global effects, as the pacific ocean is really big. In the UK, you probably hear about the Gulf Stream a lot.
- Broken_Hippo 3y agoI grew up hearing about how the jet stream was going to affect the weather, and I lived in Indiana (US) - and I lived there until my mid-30s.
