Rossby waves are like invisible rivers in the sky that help move air and weather around the Earth. They make it so one part of the world can get a heatwave while another gets snow, even if they're not far apart. These waves change directions sometimes, which is why the weather feels different from day to day.
Examples
- One day it's hot and sunny, the next it's freezing, Rossby waves might be the reason.
