Polar vortex and first winter trend 25/26

In late autumn and winter, attention repeatedly turns to the stratospheric polar vortex. Its intensity and behaviour also have a delayed influence on the actual weather layer – the troposphere. After a period of weakness in November, the polar vortex recovered, and now something is happening again. Here is an update!

Significant snow and ice storm in the USA

Arctic air masses are increasingly flowing into the United States from Canada. This is resulting in heavy snowfall in many places, while freezing rain is occurring in a transition zone. These ice accumulations in particular are likely to cause significant problems in some regions, with widespread power outages.

El Niño goes, La Niña comes

El Niño conditions have prevailed in the equatorial Pacific in recent months. However, more and more cool deep water is currently reaching the surface off the west coast of South America and cooling it down. The transition from El Niño to La Niña is in full swing and will take place in the coming months.

Goodbye snow! What's happening there?

Snow is a special element, a very special whim of nature. It's not just children who enjoy thick flakes and plenty of fresh snow for building snowmen. Most drivers, on the other hand, are less enthusiastic about it. How long a blanket of snow can last depends on several factors. In addition to the air temperature relative humidity also plays a role, and wind and rain are other possible snow killers.

Cold sum and Lake Freezing

In cold winters, the freezing of lakes becomes a topic of interest. What does it take for a lake — large or small — to freeze over? The clear answer: sustained cold over a long period. As such very cold winter phases have become rarer in recent decades, complete lake freeze-ups have also become an increasingly rare phenomenon.

Cold air pools – Still pools, cool air

A cold air pool is an accumulation of cold air in a depression. Temperature differences of up to 30 degrees can sometimes be observed within a few hundred meters. In addition to meteorological factors, the topography and the shape and depth of a valley are also decisive for the formation of a cold air lake.

Current sea ice extent in the Antarctic and Arctic

The low point of summer sea ice extent is typically reached in the Antarctic between mid- and late February, while the winter maximum is reached in the Arctic in March with a slight delay. Conversely, the lowest sea ice extent is recorded in the Arctic in mid-September, while the greatest extent is recorded in the Antarctic. Currently, we are experiencing the lowest level of global sea ice extent on record.

Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen process

The Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen process describes the growth of ice crystals in mixed-phase clouds and is the main cause of precipitation in our latitudes. It also forms the basis for special cloud formations that arise through the transformation of supercooled water droplets into ice.
