Now this is being caused by climate change and greenhouse gases. This summer has been particularly hot with record temperatures in many countries and coral bleaching in oceans:

“Last year scientists from Reading University found that severe turbulence, from this clean air phenomenon, had increased 55% between 1979 and 2020 in the North Atlantic.

“They said that warmer air from increasing greenhouse gas emissions was changing the wind speed in the jet stream.

“Prof Paul Williams, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Reading, who co-authored the study told the BBC last year: "We should be investing in improved turbulence forecasting and detection systems, to prevent the rougher air from translating into bumpier flights in the coming decades."
