The Khamaseen depressions continue their activity despite the end of their climatic season.

Arab Weather - Today marks the end of the Khamasin depression season, which begins with the vernal equinox and ends on May 10. Although the climatically speaking, the Khamasin depression season has ended, weather maps indicate the region will continue to be exposed to Khamasin depressions in the coming period.

The Khamaseen depressions are active in North Africa and there is a possibility of them reaching the Levant.

Computer outputs from the Arabia Weather Center indicate that Khamasin depressions are active during this and the coming period in North Africa and the Sahara, the region where this type of depression is produced. According to computer readings, the chances of Khamasin depressions reaching the Levant region remain possible in the coming days, especially in light of the activity of the subtropical jet stream.

Initial indications suggest that the Levant is likely to be hit by a khamsin depression, with one possibly occurring by the end of this week. However, the exact timing remains distant and uncertain, and we will update you with more details in the coming days, God willing.

Weather and temperature fluctuations accompany the Khamaseen depressions.

Khamaseen depressions are usually accompanied at their front by an air mass with much warmer than usual temperatures (warm or hot). Some of the air masses advancing at the front of Khamaseen depressions are sometimes extremely hot, causing heat waves in some North African countries, the Levant, and the Arabian Peninsula. At the front of Khamaseen depressions, Khamaseen weather conditions prevail, characterized by dry, warm (or hot), and dusty weather.

However, the Khamaseen depression quickly moves away, and a cooler air mass rushes in behind it, causing a sharp drop in temperatures in a period of time that may not exceed 24 hours, and the weather may turn from hot to cold in a short period of time.

And God knows best.
