Global Weather Patterns Map

This map illustrates a complex interplay of atmospheric and oceanic conditions influencing weather patterns across the North Atlantic and surrounding continents. It highlights the path of the jet stream, showing how it can create an 'Enhanced trough' leading to 'cold & snowy' conditions in some areas and 'cold & dry' in others. A 'Weak Low' pressure system is depicted as 'Blocking,' influencing regions that become 'cold dry' or 'warm & wet.' The map also points to how 'warm less sea ice' in northern areas and 'warmer seas' further south can contribute to these large-scale atmospheric setups, including the southward movement of cold air.
