Or a heat dome when the jet stream slows. It makes loops up and down where pockets of extreme heat or cold form

Unlikely unless you live in the southern hemisphere. Nodal lock is now rare in the northern hemisphere because Arctic sea ice is very low, which is required to stabilize the polar jet stream and keep the cold in the north. This causes weather/climate to become highly variable in the northern hemisphere.

Long term, I would look to areas like southern Chile and Tasmania because Arctic and Subarctic areas will increasingly experience forest fires, tundra collapse, and highly variable temperatures.

Boy, do I have bad news for you about Tasmania if you don't like forest fires.
