Madrid, the capital of Spain, was hit by the strongest snowstorm in 50 years. What do you think caused the abnormal weather?

202 1 1 8, the Spanish capital Madrid was hit by a snowstorm. Hundreds of roads have been affected and cannot be driven. And because of the snowstorm, most airports in Madrid were closed and traffic was paralyzed. Madrid is experiencing the worst storm, and the roads are covered with snow, making it difficult for people to travel. Moreover, meteorologists predict that the temperature in Madrid will remain below zero in the past week.

The authorities said that residents should reduce outdoor activities during the storm, make full preparations for cold and warmth, and reserve enough water and food. During the snowstorm, the most dangerous thing is the traffic accident. As the capital of Spain, Madrid is the largest city in Spain. Madrid is located in the middle of the Libyan Peninsula, bordering the North Atlantic Ocean in the north. The North Atlantic Warm Current is the most powerful warm current in the North Atlantic. Due to global warming, glaciers near the North Pole melt and the circulation system of warm current slows down, so the weakening of the North Atlantic warm current will inevitably lead to a sudden drop in the temperature in Europe.

Madrid is located in the alpine mountains and belongs to the temperate continental climate. In January, the temperature in Madrid is generally low. The causes of climate anomalies are related to the latitude position, land and sea position and terrain differences in this area, and climate anomalies may also be affected by ocean currents. Latitude position is the basic factor affecting climate. Because the latitude is different, the sun shines at different angles and receives different sunlight and heat, so the temperature is very different.

The distribution of land and sea changes the zonal distribution of temperature and precipitation. Because both the ocean and the land are exposed to strong sunlight, the ocean warms slowly and the land warms faster. So generally speaking, in offshore areas, the daily and annual changes of temperature are relatively small. Ocean currents also have a certain impact on the climate. The ocean current flowing from high altitude to low latitude can cool and dehumidify the area it flows through. But the most important thing is the atmospheric circulation, which is the main reason for the formation of various climate types and weather changes. Under the control of different pressure belts and wind belts, the atmospheric circulation has also changed obviously, thus forming different climate types. Any change in one of these factors may lead to the formation of abnormal climate.
