The Baltic States are mostly protected by the Norwegian fjords and mountains from frigid North Atlantic storms, unless polar winds manage to make it through the narrows between Sweden and Denmark. When that happens, the frigid North Atlantic winds cross the surface of the Baltic Sea, cool it down and bring very cold, stormy air to the shores of Latvia and Lithuania.We also catch frigid Siberian air frem the east, when westerly winds abate.
Thank you for your very detailed and good explanation or how polar vortices affect North America.
A more detailed analysis of North Atlantic as it reaches Europe would be appreciated, especially as affected by Mediterranean and North African weather conditions (Earth surface wavelets).
Sahara heat often rises into Europe to determine weather conditions.
I thoroughly enjoy your analyses and use them to plan our activities.
Thank you !
