Before delving into the major impacts of Arctic climate change I just wanted to share some new research that looks at an indirect effect that's a bit closer to home and a conversation favourite, the British weather. New research conducted by Overland et al. (2016) has linked recent cold winters in the UK and US to Arctic warming amplifying the effects of the jet stream's position. This has added to previous studies linking severe mid-latitude cold snaps to when the jet stream is wavy and is vital to improving our understanding of complex atmospheric interactions for predicting long-term winter weather.
