The eastern US will experience autumn temperatures in July this week as a huge influx of colder arctic air reaches across the easter half of the nation. Meterologists are debating whether this is a
return of the polar vortex {22.11.12, Frankenstorms in Our Future} or just an unusual perturbation of the jet stream caused by Typhoon Neoguri. The polar vortex brought extreme cold to the northeast last January. Regardless of what label is used, the condition is causing extreme hot and dry weather in the west increasing the number and size of wildfires. California is already suffering a
record drought. Some research says there is a correlation between
Arctic warming, weakening west to east winds at high latitude and a wavy jet stream that occasionally dips deep into the central North American continent.
