"Tonga Eruption May Alter Global Weather Patterns for Decade: Study"

TL;DR Summary
A new study reveals that the 2022 Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption, which released massive amounts of water vapor into the stratosphere, could cause unusual weather patterns for the rest of the decade. The eruption has been linked to the large ozone hole in 2023 and unexpected wet summers in Australia. The study predicts colder and wetter winters in northern Australia, warmer winters in North America, and colder winters in Scandinavia until 2029.
