🌨️ IS A HISTORIC WINTER COMING IN 2025?
The polar vortex is showing worrying signs: sudden stratospheric warming, weakening winds, and potential ruptures that could send Arctic air toward Europe, North America, and Asia. This pattern is already associated with the worst winters of recent decades, and models point to a colder-than-normal start to winter 2025/2026 across large areas of the Northern Hemisphere [web:105][web:109][web:121].
In this documentary we explain:
▪️ What the polar vortex really is and how it controls winter
▪️ How a sudden stratospheric warming event can disrupt it
▪️ Why 2025 could bring several waves of extreme cold
▪️ Most exposed regions in Europe, the United States, and Canada [web:106][web:112]
▪️ Lessons from historical winters (1985, 1994, 2014) and parallels with today
▪️ Consequences for energy, transportation, agriculture, and health
