The polar vortex is coming—and raising the odds for intense winter weather. In the stratosphere over Siberia, temperatures recently jumped nearly 100 degrees Fahrenheit, shoving the polar vortex ...

A new study challenges the idea that climate change is behind the erratic wintertime behavior of the polar jet stream, the ...

Much of the U.S. is being blasted by ice, snow and wind, as the polar vortex that dipped south over the weekend is maintaining its frigid grip.

The dynamics of the stratosphere, particularly the behaviour of the polar vortex, have emerged as a cornerstone in understanding mid‐latitude weather extremes and seasonal climate variability.

Extreme heat is only becoming more common. In the United States, heat waves now occur three times as often as they did in the ...

The polar vortex can bring bitter cold and winter weather to areas that do not normally get it. Local News. 6/15/25 Annie's Sunday Forecast. Updated: 21 minutes ago. Local News.

Unless society stops pumping more greenhouse gases in the air, “we can expect multiple factors to worsen summer extremes,” a ...

Climate change is a huge crisis, and we need to explore every alternative we can to mitigate it. This includes nuclear power for reliable energy and the mining of lithium needed to make ...

Climate change has tripled the frequency of atmospheric wave events linked to extreme summer weather in the last 75 years and that may explain why long-range computer forecasts keep ...
