The prevailing winds in UK are mainly westerly
While that used to be true, I am convinced that, in the last year or so, we have had more northerly or southerly winds than westerly. This is probably due to the fact that depressions which used to pass mainly to the north of the UK, now seem to travel much more south. I understood that this because the jetstreams are pushing more to the south than normal.
Or maybe I just think it is because I now fly a more limited crosswind type which is based at a field with a east/west r/w.
