A rare Stratospheric Warming event has begun over the South Pole


A Stratospheric Warming event begins over the South Pole, with unusual intensity, raising question about a potential impact on the Northern Hemisphere and the U.S. Winter weather

The Southern Hemisphere is currently in its Winter season, and dynamic weather patterns will initiate a strong warming event in the Stratosphere above the South Pole. This graphic shows a signal between prolonged high-pressure anomalies over the South Pole in the August-October period and colder temperatures over the United States the following December-February. There is a large caveat here: This correlation does not mean that the high-pressure anomaly over the South Pole is directly responsible for the lower temperature signal over the United States the following winter.
