Polar Vortex Reversal Recorded Earlier Than Any in 70 Years
Original: Polar Vortex Collapse SHOCKS Scientists — Earliest Reversal in 70 Years Could Change This Winter
Meteorologists report that the stratospheric polar vortex has collapsed and reversed direction earlier than any event in roughly seven decades of records, prompting warnings that the coming winter's weather patterns across the Northern Hemisphere could be disrupted. A sudden stratospheric warming of this kind can send frigid Arctic air toward mid-latitudes, and scientists are watching closely to see how the anomaly unfolds.
Why now: The unprecedented timing of the vortex collapse raises concerns about unusually severe or erratic winter weather.
