America is struggling with the polar vortex
Many states of America are currently struggling with severe cold winds. The main reason for this is believed to be the polar vortex. Winds flow counter-clockwise in the polar vortex. Due to the geographical structure, the Polar Vortex usually revolves around the North Pole, but when it moves towards the south, it brings severe cold to America, Europe and Asia.
What are the dangers of the polar vortex?
- Going out of the house when the Polar Vortex is going on can prove to be extremely dangerous. At this time, going out without winter kit can cause a heart attack in 5 to 7 minutes.
- Apart from this the skin may freeze. Even the car does not start in such weather. The only way to avoid this is to stay indoors when polar winds are blowing.
- Some research has shown that the Arctic is warming rapidly in the last few years, due to which the polar vortex is shifting towards the south.
