POLAR VORTEX: AN UNPRECEDENTED DISTURBANCE LINKED TO EL NIÑO?

Meteorologists are observing an exceptionally early disruption of the polar vortex over the Arctic, a phenomenon that could bring cold air down towards Europe, North America, and Asia. This anomaly, rarely seen since the 1950s, could be linked to the intensity of the El Niño phenomenon in the Pacific, which alters wind and temperature patterns globally. However, Météo-France emphasizes that the consequences remain uncertain for the coming weeks, particularly regarding the risk of a cold snap in France.
