High winds disrupted street jam (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
jet stream
'high winds disrupted street jam' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'disrupted street jam' is the wordplay.
'disrupted' indicates anagramming the letters.
'street'+'jam'='streetjam'
'streetjam' with letters rearranged gives 'JET-STREAM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for jet stream that I've seen before include "Strong westerlies" , "High-altitude, high-speed wind" , "flow behind aircraft" , "Upper atmosphere current" , "High atmospheric westerly current" .)
