There were three polar vortex centers in the Northern Hemisphere, and the intensity of polar vortexes was significantly stronger than normal. The mid-high latitude circulation was distributed in the pattern of four troughs and four ridges. The mid-high latitude circulation in Asia was in the west-high and east-low pattern overall, but the East Asian trough was weaker than that in the same period of normal year, and the western Pacific subtropical high was stronger.
