If we want to go into physics, you can look up on WikiP that the jet stream is passive to hot and cold zones. It's like a shadow, and cannot move air particles. It is just a continuous roll, like a thunderstorm, except there is a slight vector westward on the descending air. This can be 'sailed' by jet planes. Please don't think about physics, it keeps you up at night.

@peterdrake YES! And super fun and easy to get immersed in the open world. Elden Ring is probably the best beginner one but also the most difficult to complete.
