The Polar Vortex Is About To Collapse Weeks Before It Ever Has

Could an earthquake or eruption reach your house? Check your address in an hour, and learn the first safe steps for your home: https://breakpointstore.net The polar vortex over the Arctic is forecast to break down as early as November 4, three weeks ahead of the earliest breakdown since records began in 1958. The European ensemble now puts the odds of a wind reversal at 94 to 96 percent within two weeks, and only the AI model is holding out. When this ring of wind fails, the cold it holds over the pole has to go somewhere. This year, a record-strength El Niño is standing in its path, and the next six weeks will decide which force reaches the ground first. Breakpoint covers the moments when the Earth shifts — earthquakes, eruptions, severe weather, climate events, and the science behind the planet's biggest stories. Every video delivers the headlines, the data, and what comes next in twenty to twenty-five minutes. New videos three to four times a week.
