   [4] [5] In the SH, SSW accompanied by a reversal of the vortex westerly (which is soon after followed by a vortex recovery) was observed once during the period 1979–2024; this was in September 2002. [6] Stratospheric warming in September 2019 was comparable to or even greater than that of 2002, but the wind reversal did not occur. [7] [8] [9]
