Heavy thunderstorms in the Algerian capital, while hot and stable weather prevails in the capital, Amman.

Arab Weather - Weather maps at the Arab Weather Center indicate a noticeable contrast in the shape of weather systems between the two halves of the Mediterranean Sea (western and eastern), as a colder-than-usual air mass is pushing towards the western Mediterranean regions and affecting the northern Maghreb countries, while the exact opposite prevails in the Levant, where the region is affected by a hot air mass accompanied by a high pressure system in the upper layers of the atmosphere.

Algeria: 25°C with chances of rain, Amman: 35°C with hot weather in the coming days

It is expected - God willing - that northern Algeria will be affected by unstable weather conditions, represented by the passage of a cold air front at the end of this week, where temperatures will drop significantly to around 25 degrees Celsius, and winds will be active, so that the perceived temperature felt by the human body will be lower than that, and quantities of cumulonimbus clouds will increase and thunderstorms of rain will fall accompanied by hail.

Meanwhile, the Jordanian capital, Amman, continues to record temperatures 3-6 degrees Celsius higher than usual, with maximum temperatures approaching 35 degrees Celsius, while they are even higher in the capital's eastern districts. This is due to the Kingdom being affected by an extension of the subtropical high pressure system, which is leading to hot and dry summer weather prevailing across various regions, and is expected to continue in this manner over the coming days.

This paradox embodies the great contrast in climate between the countries of West and North Africa on the one hand, and the Levant and the Arab Levant on the other, as a result of the differences in the weather systems prevailing in each region.
