Why Summer Weather Is Getting So Wild

Turns out those endless heat waves and downpours aren’t just in your head—planetary waves that cause extreme summer weather have tripled since 1950! Scientists say climate change is making the jet stream way wavier, locking in brutal heat, floods, or droughts for weeks. This summer could be even crazier thanks to El Niño. Basically, our weather is getting stuck on repeat, and it’s only getting worse unless we cut greenhouse gases. Wild, right? #ClimateChange #ExtremeWeather #JetStream #Science
