Surprise warning of icy
The temperature of the earth may be rising, but there is an icy disaster in North America and parts of Europe. Scientists have warned that the breakdown of the huge vortex of cold air located above the Arctic, known as Polar Vortex, may cause fatal cold in the month of March. This cold can be so dangerous that normal life can be completely disturbed. These countries have been advised to start immediate preparations to avoid this possible ‘white destruction’.
Polar Vortex is a massive cyclonic air mass that rotates in the atmosphere above the Arctic region. During winter it is strong and keeps the cold air to the polar areas. However, when it is unstable and breaks, a part of its cold air moves south to south, causing a sudden and heavy drop in temperature in those areas. This can cause icy storms and deadly cold conditions.
Fear of breakdown of Polar Vortex
Meteorologists have feared the breakdown of Polar Vortex in the month of March. He believes that this phenomenon may historically fall down in North America and many parts of Europe. It is worth noting that in the month of February, due to the weakening of Polar Vortex, severe cold and heavy snowfall in many areas caused havoc. Now scientists say that the possible cold in March can prove to be even more dangerous.
A well-known meteorologist of Accuweather Paul Pastalok, expressing concern over the situation, said that this time Polar Vortex is unusually pulled and changing his shape. He also stated that the center of this displacement could be towards Europe and Eastern Canada. This unexpected behavior is due to energy fluctuations in the atmosphere, due to which the cold air can enter these areas and cause widespread damage.
White destruction warning
Jet stream will affect
Polar Vortex’s breakdown directly affects the jet stream. The jet stream is a strip of strong wind flowing in the high atmosphere, which prevents the cold polar wind from coming down. When the Polar Vortex is weak, the jet stream also becomes unstable, making the cold air easily enter the south. For this reason, there is a sudden drop in temperature in the US, Canada and UK and the risk of icy storm increases.
In February, a record -breaking cold was recorded in many parts of the US and Canada due to the breakdown of Polar Vortex. Normal life was badly affected due to heavy snowfall and excessive drop in temperature. Schools and offices had to be closed and it was also very difficult to travel. If a similar situation is made again in March, the situation can be even more serious.
Fierce cold despite global warming
Scientists are having an intense discussion on why there is such a severe cold despite global warming. Some experts believe that climate change is bringing changes to the general behavior of the jet stream, leading to such extreme seasonal events. Even though the average temperature of the Earth is rising, the breakdown of Polar Vortex can make the cold outbreak more dangerous.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Polar Vortex has been very strong this year. However, its frequent breakdown and unusual shape are certainly a matter of concern. Scientists say that this unexpected behavior of Polar Vortex is making the weather even more uncertain. This can lead to another serious round of cold in March, which can create many kinds of problems for the common people.
Apart from the US, Canada and UK, this possible cold can also be seen in parts of Europe. Eastern Canada, Midwest US and Northeast US have feared heavy snowfall and extreme cold. People of these areas are being advised to keep warm clothes, heaters and other essential items prepared in advance.
