A study suggests that the jet stream, a high-speed air current that carries weather around the globe, is taking a longer, more meandering route than usual. This means that weather patterns will remain the same in some areas for longer periods. If accurate, these findings could explain the recent stormy spell that has brought devastating flooding to many...

Guardian: David Cameron has warned that the flooding crisis is likely to get worse even though Britain is set for a respite from the devastating winter storms.
