Schematic diagram of heatwave in western North America during late June of 2021. Shading represents surface air temperature anomalies, and the green vector denotes jetstream (a narrow band of very strong westerly air currents near the altitude of the tropopause). Two blue vectors indicate that the heatwave originates from the North Pacific and the Arctic.
