Polar vortex headed for US will bring ‘exceptionally cold’ temps in the new year: ‘Weather models are screaming’ Alex Oliveira December 30, 2024 at 8:14 PM
On February 5, Edmonton recorded a temperature of −32.3 °C (−26.1 °F) and a wind chill of −37 °C (−35 °F), [16] as a result of the "polar vortex" making its way west. [ 17 ] [ 18 ] Extreme cold carried into March, with temperatures hitting −31.2 °C (−24.2 °F) in Calgary on the second, [ 19 ] and −38.6 °C (−37.5 °F) in ...
A mesoscale convective vortex (MCV) is a low-pressure center within a mesoscale convective system (MCS) that pulls winds into a circling pattern, or vortex. With a core only 30 to 60 mi (48 to 97 km) wide and 1 to 3 mi (1.6 to 4.8 km) deep, an MCV is often overlooked in standard surface observations . [ 7 ]
The fastest wind speed not related to tornadoes ever recorded was during the passage of Tropical Cyclone Olivia on 10 April 1996: an automatic weather station on Barrow Island, Australia, registered a maximum wind gust of 113.3 m/s (408 km/h; 253 mph; 220.2 kn; 372 ft/s) [6] [7] The wind gust was evaluated by the WMO Evaluation Panel, who found ...
