Yanvar oyining oxirida AQSh g‘arbining markaziy qismiga anomal sovuq havo yopirildi. Sovuqdan eng ko‘p Chikago shahri jabrlandi. 30-yanvar kuni Chikago tarixidagi ikkinchi eng sovuq kun kuzatildi. Havo harorati -30 daraja sovuqqacha tushgan. 150 yillik kuzatuvlar davomida faqat 1985-yilda shunday sovuq qayd etilgan. Bu haqda TJournal xabar berdi.
Havoning -30 daraja sovuqligi juda past ko‘rinmasligi mumkin, biroq AQShdagi holatni qutb shamollari murakkablashtirgan. Odatda Shimoliy qutbda hosil bo‘ladigan shamollar sababli Chikagoda havoning sovuqligi -40 dan -53 daraja sovuqqacha sezilgan.
Sovuq sababli shahar joylashgan Illinoys shtatida maktablar va boshqa muassasalar yopilgan. Aeroportlarda o‘nlab reyslar kechikkan yoki bekor qilingan, aholidan esa zarurat bo‘lmagan sharoitda ko‘chaga chiqmaslik so‘ralgan. Shuningdek, sovuqda juda chuqur nafas olmaslik ham tavsiya qilingan.
Poyezdlar qatnovini ta’minlash uchun ishchilar temir yo‘l kesishmalarida olov yoqqan.
It's been so cold in Chicago that workers set fire to railroad tracks just to keep the trains moving. The extreme cold — around -22 F Wednesday morning — can cause rail defects. https://t.co/7NG3VKuPYV pic.twitter.com/Bd15ZZUged
