Researchers predict that hazardous clear-air turbulence is set to worsen as climate change progresses.
If you’ve suffered a bumpy plane ride recently, you can blame climate change.
Scientists have long suspected that an increase in turbulence is consistent with warming air temperatures.
Now, a new study by meteorologists at the University of Reading in the UK has found that skies are up to 55 per cent bumpier than four decades ago.
The researchers also predict that clear-air turbulence is set to worsen as climate change progresses.
Climate change is causing increased turbulence
The study analysed climate and atmospheric data from a four decade period to determine how climate change is affecting clear-air turbulence,
