...and it is cold across the continent and the globe seems much cooler after the huge storms across the globe last week. A similar phenomena occurred with Tropical Storm Chantal and the temperature in Iceland. TS Chantal was short lived, but, during that time there was a huge resolution of temperature in Reykjavik, Iceland. Just previous to TS Chantal the temperatures in Reykjavik were unseasonably warm, almost tropical at 70 F. As Chantal churned in the North Atlantic with latitudes of New York City, the temperature dropped within a few short hours to 52 F. The temperatures in Reykjavik have remained their normal seasonal temperatures since, noting there have been subsequent storms to resolve the heat in the troposphere.
When viewing the satellites today there are far fewer vortices globally, but, I don't anticipate it to remain that way.
