235 million people in America face a polar wave that may be the strongest in years

Arab Weather - The latest weather map forecasts indicate that large parts of the United States of America will begin to be affected by a severe and exceptional polar cold wave that led to a record drop in temperatures during the day on Monday in various northern and eastern states of America, which is expected to continue during the coming days, bringing with it a record drop in temperatures and a wide wave of snow and ice.

Experts at "Arab Weather" said that the polar wave affecting the United States is the result of the polar vortex rushing directly towards the region via Canada, which led to the formation of a strong and historic cold wave.

The polar wave is expected to continue to affect the region during Monday and until the end of the week, covering large parts of the country, including the northern and northeastern states and even the Gulf Coast, with record temperatures that may reach 50 degrees below zero in some areas, putting about 235 million people in America facing a polar wave that may be the strongest in many years.

Concerns about the effects of the cold wave on public life

The cold wave is expected to have severe consequences on daily life and the economy, with concerns about energy grids being overwhelmed by increased demand for heating, school closures, and public health and the spread of colds as temperatures drop to dangerous levels of 50 degrees below zero.

Gulf Coast, Southeast U.S. on Blizzard, Ice Alert

Meteorologists have warned of the expansion of polar air into the south-central and southeastern United States, which threatens to form a snowstorm along the Texas coast, including the Gulf Coast states, in the coming days, due to the influx of moisture from the south, which will be met by very cold polar air that will help to fall large amounts of snow in those areas.

Cold wave in the east and fires in the west

The weather conditions in the north and east of the United States coincide with expectations of renewed Santa Ana winds blowing strongly in the coming days, which may reach 120 km/hour, according to the latest forecasts, in the mountainous areas of Los Angeles County, which may increase the spread of fires again.
