Arab Weather - Computer simulation results in Arab Weather indicate the positioning of a high-pressure system in the middle of the European continent, which allows a very cold air mass to rush towards the Maghreb countries, specifically Morocco and Algeria, leading to the formation of a deep low-pressure system at the beginning of next week.

A deep low-pressure system over the Maghreb countries

God willing, the deep low-pressure system over North Africa is expected to be accompanied by a significant drop in temperatures and very cold weather, in addition to snowfall over many high mountain peaks, with accumulation in several areas, especially in the high mountain regions of Morocco and Algeria.

At the same time… a rainy low-pressure system is affecting the Levant region:

At the same time, a very cold air mass is deepening over the eastern part of the European continent, part of its coldness seeps towards the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea, leading to the formation of a low-pressure system that will affect Syria and Lebanon starting on Saturday, before its impact expands on Sunday to include Palestine and Jordan.

God willing, cold weather is expected, with intermittent rainfall in various parts of the Levant, sometimes heavy, and possibly accompanied by lightning, thunder, and hail in some areas, which may lead to surface runoff and increase the chances of flash floods in valleys and low-lying areas, especially in Syria and Lebanon.

Snowfall is also expected over the high mountainous areas of Syria and Lebanon, including the Syrian coastal highlands, with chances of snow accumulation on some high mountain peaks.

We ask God to make these rains and snows generous, a mercy, a blessing, and a source of goodness. He is the All-Hearing, the Responsive.

And God knows best.
