Magoros could face their coldest winter in 10 years.
Climate
Magoros - containing Calypstan, Southria, and Polarina - could face their coldest winter ever since 10 years, when temperatures dropped as low as -22°C.
The continent is known for their cold, snowy climates, where the average winter temperature can range from -5°C to -16°C. However, this year has a chance to be different, where temperatures can drop as low as -22°C. However this could promote a more snowy winter for the citizens of Magoros.
Meteorologists first identified the disruption of the polar vortex through satellite observations and atmospheric data analysis in early November. Using high-resolution weather models, they detected unusual warming in the stratosphere over the Arctic—commonly referred to as a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event.
This warming caused the polar vortex, a large area of low-pressure cold air typically contained above the North Pole, to weaken and split into multiple fragments. These fragments allowed frigid Arctic air to spill southward, blanketing the far north with exceptionally cold conditions. Climatologists warned that the split could cause prolonged and severe cold spells, with data confirming that pressure anomalies in the upper atmosphere were already altering jet stream patterns.
Meteorologists are warning that the disruption of the polar vortex could have far-reaching consequences beyond the far north, as destabilised jet stream patterns may trigger unusual weather across the globe. With the polar vortex fractured, the typical circulation of air currents has been thrown off balance. This could lead to severe storms and heavy rainfall in some regions, while others may face unseasonable heatwaves or prolonged droughts
The cold weather could also bring disruptions to travel across Magoros, roads can get icy and become dangerous, and the cold could promote frost heaves to form, which can make driving dangerous and repair costs could be high. As for air travel, flights could get cancelled due to blizzards, icy runways, or poor visibility.
As for the agriculture, the extreme cold can damage the crops, which could possibly lead to a shortage in food. And electricity bills could surge due to heating and more.
