A 'stratospheric' polar vortex could hit the UK and bring with it a lot of snow
It is fair to say the weather so far in 2023 hasn't been very kind to us. Freezing temperatures, seemingly endless weather warnings and now fears a "stratospheric polar vortex" is on the way.

The polar vortex is a circulation of winds high up in the stratosphere. As well as the stratospheric polar vortex, there is also a tropospheric polar vortex.
Weather expert Brian Gaze from The Weather Outlook told the Express: "Computer models are suggesting that a weakening of the Stratospheric Polar Vortex in the coming weeks could lead to an increasing chance of cold weather during February. "If this happens, we are in a classic position to get a cold flow in from the east, and with that, snow, ice and very cold winds. This is an indicator of a Beast from the East, and although it has not woken up fully yet, it is safe to say the beast is opening its eyes.”
