The March 2021 cold snap was caused by frigid Arctic air tumbling downwards, bringing freezing temperatures and wintery weather to the rest of the world. In most parts of the U.S., this means more snow and winter weather overall.
Why is this spring so cold 2020?
Some studies indicate that the polar jet stream has weakened over the past three decades — which means that the cold surface air from high latitudes increasingly makes it down to middle latitudes. There are also some signs that the Arctic polar vortex, driven by climate change, is also weakening and shifting.
Is March still a cold month?
The reason is due to cumulative cooling and a relatively low sun angle. By March, the sun angle is starting to get high enough that cumulative cooling stops and thus the temperatures begin to warm. Thus, the coldest months of the year for most Northern Hemisphere locations are the months of January and February.
