BEIJING - Mohe, China’s northernmost city, recorded a temperature of minus 53 deg C this week. That was the coldest in its recorded history and cold enough to cause hypothermia within minutes in anyone who wasn’t dressed properly.
South Asia is having a chilly winter, too. Several Indian states experienced “severe cold wave conditions” in mid-January, the government said. And in Afghanistan, where temperatures in some areas came close to minus 18.3 deg C, authorities say that at least 162 people have died from the cold since Jan 10.‘The rails of a roller coaster’
This month, the polar vortex brought arctic air to Central Asia before slowly moving eastward, said meteorologist Woo Jin-kyu of the Korea Meteorological Administration. Its southward bulge is accompanied by a shift in the jet stream, a ring of strong wind that blows from west to east along the vortex’s edges, he said.
Afghanistan has felt the cold snap more acutely than any other country in Asia this month. The country’s minister of disaster management told Reuters this week that about half of the 162 deaths since Jan 10 had occurred in the previous week.
