That's because we're in an El Niño year — and it may even end up being a historically strong El Niño winter. El Niño doesn't just affect droughts, heat waves and hurricane season — new research suggests it could also impact how much turbulence planes experience in the air.Paul Williams, a professor of atmospheric science at the University of Reading, presented his research on the subject during a meeting of the American Meteorological Society earlier this year.The science is complicated, but essentially Williams found a link between El Niño or La Niña years and the amount of clear-air turbulence (or CAT) in the atmosphere. ‘Historically strong’ El Niño possible: What it means for winter CAT is one type of turbulence you might experience while flying.

Amy LindgrenTiming a career change can be tricky. Shift gears too quickly and you might be leaving something behind that you could have succeeded at. But wait too long and you might miss a window of opportunity. Or worse: You might take on a negative attitude based on disliking your work.And then there’s the question of why you would change careers at all.
