A polar vortex collapse is expected over the next two weeks, causing extreme winter weather and travel disruption across North America. The weather phenomenon is expected to develop in mid-March, bringing severe cold temperatures across parts of Canada and the United States. It may also impact the UK and Europe.
The United States has been at the epicenter of the planet’s most unusually cold conditions early in 2025. The polar vortex is to blame.
The polar vortex will be back in the news again soon, so how will it impact our weather? A split polar vortex brought on the major mid-February storm that triggered the mammoth flooding followed by several inches of snow.
