Why is my weather app sometimes wrong? Well, it has a lot to do with wind. Jet streams, air cells, the shape and movement of the Earth... there are a lot of things that make the weather a little unpredictable. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks to us about how ocean currents actually work with jet streams to move weather around.
