Brace Yourself for a Chilling Start to 2025!As we step into the New Year, the polar vortex is making headlines again. This ...

How the Polar Vortex Can Bring Arctic Blasts to the U.S. Vast weather patterns can carry blasts of frigid air far from the polar regions—here’s how it works ...

These severe cold events occur when the polar jet stream – the familiar ... But does this cold snap contradict human-caused global warming? As an atmospheric and climate scientist, I can tell ...

The study published by Cohen and his co-authors suggested warming Arctic temperatures have been disrupting the polar vortex more often since 1990 and sending more frequent cold blasts into the U.S ...

It's a cold air outbreak that some experts say is happening more frequently, and paradoxically, because of a warming world. Such cold air blasts have become known as the polar vortex. It's a long ...

But some emerging science suggests that, generally, the polar vortex could be changing as a result of global warming, possibly causing more cold extremes in North America. Warming temperatures at ...

Outbreaks from the Arctic will persist throughout the Northern Hemisphere in the upcoming decades, even as the region is warming ... Administration's Global Forecasting System model predicted the ...

As the Arctic rapidly warms, the temperature difference between the polar region and lower latitudes decreases, which weakens ...

In order for the polar vortex to travel south, the jet stream must weaken. The jet stream is affected by global warming, and you can find more on this relationship here.

The bitter weather—tied to an Arctic "polar vortex" blast—is expected ... While the link between global warming and heat waves is very direct, the behavior of winter storms is governed by ...
