Europe Reverts To Warm Jet Stream Pattern
This week, Europe will see a return to last year’s pattern of above-average temperatures because the jet stream will be displaced to the north of its average position. Warmer than normal temperatures will cover the continent from Edinburgh to Berlin to Moscow. The only exception to the warmer than normal temperatures will be in northern portions of Scandinavia and Russia.

The US is in the grip of the coldest arctic-air invasion of the year and getting colder, while on the other side of the Atlantic puddle, Europe will be warmer than normal.
Let’s go Around The World.
This year the winter monsoon has been especially powerful and has caused severe flooding, accompanied by the loss of at least 24 lives.
