A weakening of the polar vortex could bring colder weather to Europe in the coming weeks, according to the report. The polar vortex is a band of strong winds and low pressure high in the Arctic stratosphere, and when it weakens or disrupts, frigid air can spill southward into mid-latitudes. Such events have historically been linked to severe cold snaps across northern and central Europe, prompting attention from weather watchers.
Why now: Concerns that a weakened polar vortex may trigger an early or harsh cold spell in Europe are drawing attention as winter approaches.
