Screen recording of the Earth NullSchool weather data viewer showing the winds and temperature in the upper stratosphere (10-millibar pressure level) on November 12, 2024. The polar vortex—defined as the mean winds at 60 degrees North (cutting through southern tip of Greenland)—was behaving itself: winds were strongly westerly, which is their typical (mean) state during the winter. Later in the season, things got squirrelly, with several disruptions and sudden warmings.
