The polar stratospheric vortex over the Northern Hemisphere is weakening faster than usual, leading to colder weather in Europe. Forecast models indicate a significant weakening in the next ten days, which typically would see strengthening. A sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event may occur, affecting weather patterns and increasing the likelihood of persistent high-pressure areas and lower temperatures. The vortex, a low-pressure area of cold air above the Arctic, usually weakens in summer and strengthens in fall and winter. Current forecasts strongly suggest a significant weakening, but a complete reversal of winds necessary for a major SSW remains uncertain. Meanwhile, a deep low-pressure area in the Mediterranean is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds to Italy and Romania, prompting weather warnings. Climatologist Roxana Bojariu noted that Mediterranean cyclones are common this time of year, but their intensity may increase due to global warming. She also discussed…
