I believe so. I haven’t seen this in a while.
well it depends what the differnt colours mean! Are you using Windy.com (which is what the App uses) or a differnt one.

Yes it’s windy.com . The yellow regions mean a wind speed of around 100kts+
Jetstreams are fast flowing high-altitude winds? That’s why I think the yellow regions are jetstreams.
ok, will also depend on what Height you have in the settings. I personal use Ventusky.com (use if for work as well), and the darker the colour, the faster the winds. This shows the Atlantic, Africa and Europe currently for 9000m / 30000 ft

Must be, you would be going 600+ GS while that happened, but It would slow you down quite a bit if you were flying WB…
Are the maroon regions considered jetstreams?
I don’t know, but most likely, yes.

It is jet stream, jet stream is high wind going in curve like current.

Yes the marrron areas show high speed winds going in the same direction which is considered a jet stream.
