Early Frost in November? Experts Say It's Too Soon to Know
Listen to the story
People are asking: will it be very cold in early November? Some news talks about ice and frost. But weather experts say it is too soon to know.
Scientists talk about something called a Polar Vortex. This is a big circle of cold air high above the North Pole. Sometimes this circle breaks. This is called a Major Stratwarming. It can change the weather in many countries.
People also talk about something called Burian. This word means very cold weather from the east. It can bring snow and ice.
Right now, nobody knows if the cold weather will really come. Meteorologists need more time and more data. They say people should wait before making plans.
