An "Arctic outbreak" refers to a significant intrusion of cold air from the Arctic region into lower latitudes. This phenomenon typically occurs during winter months when high-pressure systems push frigid air southward, leading to sharply lower temperatures in affected areas. These outbreaks can cause extreme weather conditions, including heavy snowfall and icy winds. They often impact regions far from the North Pole, affecting daily life, transportation, and energy consumption. Understanding Arctic outbreaks is essential for weather forecasting and preparing for potential hazards associated with severe cold.
