    @Tomás Barrett: Yes, scientists believe the increasingly meandering nature of the northern polar jetstream is linked to climate change, it’s allowing cold polar vortex to move south and warmer air to move north more frequently, a similar event was responsible for record-breaking cold in Texas in Feb 2021:

    As a result, northern Scandinavia was warmer than Turkey around 5pm today:
