The polar vortex, also known as the polar vortex, is a wind region that forms in the polar region’s atmosphere in winter. The polar vortex balances the weather in winter, and when it breaks up, it causes, among other things, instability in weather conditions.

According to Foreca, the freezing weeks promised for March are precisely due to the breakup of the polar vortex. The polar vortex affects our weather every year for about six months.

Based on the forecasts, the weather in Finland for the coming days will be mostly cloudy. Cloudiness varies, which makes it difficult to predict temperatures. as a result of cloudiness, according to Forecan Meteorologist, the temperature can also vary, being a few degrees higher or lower than the forecast.

The rains seem to stay away from Finland as the high pressure strengthens above the country.

Cold air has been predicted to flow into Finland and northern Europe more broadly. The future cooling of the weather is essentially related to the breakup of the polar vortex. The weather has been very unstable for the past two winters, which was partly caused by the disintegrating polar vortex during the winter.

An annual phenomenon

The polar vortex forms in winter to surround the polar region. A vortex appears when the temperature differences between more southerly latitudes become large enough. In the spring, the differences even out and the polar vortex disappears during the summer.

According to Foreca, the polar vortex circling the northern polar region usually traps the coldest air masses of the winter season.

However, when the polar vortex breaks up, the cold air can spread further south under favorable conditions. At its worst, the breakup of the polar vortex causes weather instability as far as southern Europe.

The polar vortex breaks up as solar radiation increases every spring, but now it seems to be breaking up somewhat earlier than average.

Cold air flows from the north have been predicted for Finland, as well as for much of northern Europe. The cooling of the weather at the end of the coming week is related to the spread of this cold air mass in Finland.
