Maghreb: Severe weather disturbance brings heavy rain and hailstorms to several regions by this date.

Arab Weather - The latest weather maps from Arab Weather indicate that unstable weather conditions will intensify across the Maghreb countries over the coming days, particularly midweek. These conditions will include several parts of Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria, with fears of increased chances of torrential flooding in several areas.

Daily chances of thunderstorms in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia.

Arab Weather forecasters said that weather disturbances are expected to continue daily across the Maghreb countries, accompanied by the formation of thunderstorms. These disturbances will affect parts of northern Morocco, northern and central Algeria, and the Algerian Sahara. Thunderstorms are also expected to affect several parts of Tunisia and may extend, at a weaker rate, toward western Libya.

Weather data indicates that the weather system is accompanied by high surface air heating at times, which contributes to the sudden formation of cumulus clouds accompanied by heavy rainfall in random areas, which may sometimes cause flash floods and the flow of valleys.

Signs of severe weather disturbance due to the combination of a low pressure system and tropical humidity

Meteorologists at the Arab Weather Regional Center are monitoring the impact of a surface low-pressure system on the Maghreb countries, coinciding with a cold upper trough in the upper atmosphere and an expansion of tropical humidity. This will occur mid-week, specifically on Monday and Tuesday. This will lead to the low-pressure system deepening and intensifying in the Balearic Sea (the western Mediterranean Sea between Spain and Sardinia). Consequently, high-altitude thunderclouds will form over several regions of Morocco, northern Algeria, and northern Tunisia, causing heavy rainfall and possible hail. The terrain and topography of the land will contribute to the air lift, especially in the Atlas Mountains and neighboring areas. Mountain valleys and low-lying areas will be susceptible to sudden torrential floods, in addition to the increased risk of flooding in several regions due to the heavy rainfall expected in some areas.

Strong winds and dust storms expected

The weather forecast for the coming days is expected to be accompanied by strong winds and downdrafts during the passage of thunderclouds. These could lead to dust storms and possibly sandstorms at times, reducing visibility and disrupting public life. Please also beware of thunderstorms during the formation of cumulus clouds.

And God knows best.
