The winter storms seen in the US and Canada have been caused by Arctic winds known as the polar vortex dipping south over North America. Some scientists suspect that human-caused climate change may be fuelling this instability in polar weather systems
dipping south over North America. Some scientists suspect that human-caused climate change may be fuelling this instability in polar weather systems., reducing the temperature difference between cold Arctic air and warmer air further south. This could be disrupting the polar vortex’s flow, destabilising a high‑altitude air current called the polar jet stream, causing it to push warm air into the Arctic while driving cold Arctic air south.
Meanwhile, California was hit by heavy rain and snow in the first few days of 2023, causing flash flooding and rock slides. It is the first of several storms forecast to strike the state over the coming days, according to the USNWS.
