The jet stream

Does anyone understand what's going on with this? I heard on the weather forecast a while back that the jet stream is in the wrong place (too far south??) and that's why we're getting all this awful weather. But the forecaster didn't say whether the jet stream has moved temporarily or permanently or if it's because of climate change or just that it's wandered off course this year.

In other words: now it's in the wrong place, is it going to stay there the whole summer? Or could it blow away? Has it moved in relation to the earth, meaning it's going to be like this every summer? (I may leave the country...)

It did surprise me, coming from you, you'll be glad to hear!
