Understanding the Polar Vortex and Its Impact on US Winter Weather

Credited from: ALJAZEERA

  • The **polar vortex** is an area of cold air around the Arctic that is currently expanding southwards, causing severe winter storms across the US.
  • Over **60 million people** are affected by the cold spell, where temperatures may plunge to as low as **-50C (-60F)**.
  • This weather phenomenon can bring sub-freezing temperatures to regions as far south as the **Gulf Coast and Florida** Peninsula.
  • There are two types of polar vortexes: **tropospheric**, which occurs at lower altitudes, and **stratospheric**, which is currently influencing the severe weather conditions.
  • Climate change has been suggested to weaken the polar vortex, making it more susceptible to disruption and extending its reach further south.
