WMO meeting participants this time close to Geneva along with the arrival of cold air blowing from the north. Since January, the giant air flow is blanketed most of the plains of Europe, making the continent is experiencing extreme cold weather. Last Friday, the air temperature reached Geneva before noon -10 degrees Celsius, lower than the average of the coldest air temperature of about -1 degree Celsius.
In the science of weather, cold air flow is known as Rossby waves. This wave appears due to the cold air seeping confining the North Pole to the south due to the rotation of the earth.
But this time the flow is stronger. Currently in the atmosphere in the equatorial region is experiencing low pressure. This is evidenced by the emergence of many tropical cyclones around the equatorial band, creating a heavy rain and strong winds in a tropical country like Indonesia.
Low pressure at the equator is what triggers the movement of Rossby waves agile. "The cold air from the north became too strong," said Edvin.
Monitoring of the experts so far shows the flow of cold air is moving from Europe to the east. No wonder if Japan and Korea in the east began to feel the effects of this extreme weather. In Japan, this winter the temperature is lower than the previous year.

Further, extreme weather such as winter is very cold or very hot dry season will be more frequent. The cause remains the same: global warming. According to him, disturbing the earth is getting warmer air mass distribution in the atmosphere. The tropics become warmer and wetter, so it works as an engine puller of polar cold air. As a result, the countries near the poles will experience this extreme weather.Already more than 260 people were killed by the extreme winter in Europe over the past two weeks.
