Britons will remember the so-called Beast from the East which brought heavy snow and sub-zero temperatures to the UK back in 2018 - that weather event was linked to sudden stratospheric warming.
"The cold air then descends very rapidly in the polar vortex and this causes the temperature in the stratosphere to rise very rapidly, as much as 50C over only a few days; hence the term sudden stratospheric warming," the Met Office says.This event can impact the shape of the jet stream as the cold air sinks - sometimes leading to a"long spell of dry, cold weather" across the UK and northern Europe.
Prof Scaife says:"Although the impact will become clearer nearer the time, any effect on UK weather is most likely to occur in late February and March." "When they do develop they may push the cold weather across other parts of the world, e.g. China, North America, rather than Europe.
