Effect of warm Arctic events on colder winters in midlatitude regions.

Caption

The midlatitude regions are experiencing colder and more severe winters as the Arctic region continues to warm. As global temperatures keep rising, the link between extreme winter events in the midlatitude and Arctic warming may become more unstable, challenging the forecast of future extreme winter weather events.
