The deepest cold on the planet sweeps through, cold air flows straight down from Siberia

The deepest cold on the planet is forecast to occur in February, with cold air directly from Siberia pouring south.

Most of the eastern United States is experiencing one of the harshest cold spells on Earth.

“Theo dự báo, miền đông nước Mỹ sẽ là nơi lạnh nhất hành tinh so với mức trung bình trong vòng 10 ngày tới”, nhà khí tượng Ben Noll của Washington Post chia sẻ trên mạng xã hội X.

Cơ quan Thời tiết Quốc gia Mỹ (NWS) tại Mount Holly, bang New Jersey, cho biết: “Sự kết hợp giữa thời gian kéo dài và cường độ của khối không khí Bắc Cực như thế này là cực kỳ hiếm gặp đối với khu vực. Những ai buộc phải ra ngoài trời lạnh trong thời gian dài cần đặc biệt thận trọng”.

The noteworthy point is that part of the cold air that is pouring into the US originates from Siberia. This contributes to making the severe cold spell extreme, because Siberia is where the coldest air mass forms in the Northern Hemisphere in winter, climate scientist Judah Cohen of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) pointed out.

According to AccuWeather, cold weather is covering the Midwest and Northeast of the US this week, threatening to break many low temperature records and causing many cities such as Detroit, New York and Boston to experience the coldest winter in 8 years.

Mr. Cohen said that this cold spell from "extreme" to "historic" is a consequence of a familiar winter factor: the polar vortex. This phenomenon is still strongly impacting the winter weather and is likely to continue for the next few weeks.

Temperatures are much lower than the average expected to continue in eastern US until early February, before showing signs of warming up.

Tuy nhiên, theo chuyên gia dự báo thời tiết dài hạn Paul Pastelok của AccuWeather, xoáy cực có thể tiếp tục gây ra thêm một đợt không khí lạnh mạnh khác vào khu vực miền trung và miền đông nước Mỹ vào khoảng giữa tháng 2, kèm theo nguy cơ tuyết rơi.

Nhà khí tượng Ryan Maue của Weather Trader nhận định, đợt không khí lạnh cực đoan này có thể xảy ra trong khoảng từ ngày 8-11.2.

Trong khi đó, AccuWeather dự báo thời tiết ấm áp sẽ bao trùm phần lớn khu vực miền tây nước Mỹ trong hầu hết tháng 2.

Forecast maps from the Center for Climate Forecasting under the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) show that cold weather will continue in the east of the United States for most of February, while the west is still warmer than usual.

"Các đợt lạnh này có khả năng kéo dài ít nhất đến giữa tháng 2, và thậm chí lâu hơn, nhưng mức độ bất định hiện nay khá cao” - ông Cohen cảnh báo.
