Vortexul polar și El Nino pot schimba vremea în Europa. Climatolog: „Am putea avea episoade cu iarnă mai severă în unele regiuni”

The polar vortex and El Niño phenomenon may affect Europe's winter weather, with potential cold spells but not a consistently cold season. Climatologist Roxana Bojariu explains that while the polar vortex can lead to cold episodes, these are temporary and depend on atmospheric blockages. Current forecasts suggest a milder start to winter across much of Europe, with increased precipitation beneficial for drought-affected areas. Additionally, unusual warmth in October is linked to tropospheric circulation rather than the polar vortex, and such heat waves may become more frequent due to global warming. However, it is still early to draw firm conclusions about the upcoming weather patterns.
