A strong jet stream is needed to help rapidly develop powerful windstorms.
(暂无翻译)
The process involves warmer air being pushed northwards and colder air moving southwards across large areas of the Atlantic, creating a sharp contrast in temperatures.
(暂无翻译)
These temperature differences provide favourable conditions for new low-pressure systems to form and strengthen.
(暂无翻译)
If these systems are then steered beneath a developing, powerful jet stream, they can intensify rapidly, potentially becoming named storms capable of bringing damaging winds, heavy rain and widespread disruption as they move towards the UK.
