It is a large area of cold air and low pressure surrounding the South and the North poles. The flow is counterclockwise, which normally keeps the cold air close to the poles. In wintertime, in the Northern Hemisphere, the Vortex gets less stable and lowers more south. Because of climate change and global warming, some investigators have suggested reducing the Arctic sea ice. For this reason, Arctic cold air can go more south. So the contradictory conclusion can be made that global warming can cause an extreme cold.
