Jetstream. We have this thing called the Jetstream that’s always going in a circle around the north pole. It then causes all the other air to spin with it. When it’s cold it’s bc the Jetstream lowers, letting hold air in, and when it’s hot, it’s bc the stream is closer to the pole.

It’s a stream of air flowing through the sky at high speeds.
