So, let me see. If I understand this right, they're saying that the two
year long extended solar minimum is responsible for the last two poor,
cloudy soaring seasons in the UK? Gee, and here I was thinking that they
were due to that nasty old jet stream not moving north for summer.

However, I note that I haven't seen any explanation of why the jet
streams have stayed so far south these last two seasons.

Yes, without the normal highs to push the jet north it has stayed
lower for the last two years. You need heat to generate the high to
push it north. I like sun spots! The soaring was fantastic in Utah
in the early 2000's when we had the solar maximum. Looking forward to
more sun spots soon.
