Snow is expected to fall over many areas in northern Algeria, including the heights of the capital. In addition, the snow is sometimes heavy and accumulated with different thicknesses according to the height, and the accumulation increases as the height above sea level increases.

The depression and the polar air mass include Morocco

Snow on high mountain elevations.

Strong winds and very cold weather in all regions of the Maghreb

During the influence of the polar air mass, the weather is cold to very cold, and the minimum temperatures fall below zero degrees Celsius, especially in northern Algeria and Morocco.

Northwesterly winds are blowing, active to strong, at speed, accompanied by strong gusts exceeding 100 km/h over mountain heights, especially from Morocco and Algeria. A raging sea prevails, with wave heights of more than 4 meters near the coasts and in depth.

On a different note, it is expected that strong winds will cause strong and huge dust waves to arise in many desert regions of Morocco and Algeria and reach Libya, although they are far from the direct effects of the depression.

In light of the expected weather conditions, the Arab Weather Center recommends:

• Be aware of the dangers of floods and the flow of valleys and gorges
• Pay attention to the dangers of snowfall and accumulation, especially in northern Algeria.
• Pay attention to the danger of lack of horizontal visibility due to dust waves in desert areas.
