Q

3 Causes of Beast From the East

A

Cold Air from the East: Cold air from Siberia or the Arctic region is pushed towards Europe by a high-pressure system.

Easterly Winds: The winds blow from the east, bringing the cold air with them.
Blocked Weather Patterns: The usual flow of weather systems is disrupted, leading to a prolonged period of cold weather.

Snow and Wind: The interaction between the cold air and moisture from nearby seas can result in snow showers and strong winds.
