Arab world at the end of January.. Low pressure system in the Maghreb and cold but stable weather in the eastern Mediterranean

Arab Weather - The weather systems in the Arab world during the coming days are represented by a cold air mass rushing towards the western Mediterranean, and a high pressure system controlling the eastern Mediterranean, which imposes stability on the atmosphere at the end of this week, but the general characteristic of the atmosphere will be cold, especially during the night and early morning hours.

Very cold air masses over the Maghreb, accompanied by heavy rain and snow

Morocco and Algeria are affected by a very cold air mass, with temperatures dropping below zero degrees Celsius over the mountains and rain falling over large areas of northern Morocco extending to northern Algeria and reaching different parts of Tunisia. This is accompanied by a significant increase in wind speed, and snow falls over the northern Atlas Mountains during the influence of the cold air mass.

Stable weather in Libya, Egypt, the Levant and Iraq

Libya and Egypt are affected by a high pressure system that imposes stability on the atmosphere, and temperatures are several degrees Celsius higher than their usual rates, while the general characteristic of the atmosphere remains cold during the night and early morning hours, especially in the mountainous highlands and exposed areas.

Stable weather in most countries of the Levant and Iraq until the end of the week

Temperatures rise and stable weather prevails in all countries of the Levant and Iraq until the end of the week. Temperatures are warmer than their averages for this time of year, while the weather is very cold at night and early morning hours, with temperatures dropping near the ground to around zero degrees Celsius in some areas of western and northern Iraq and parts of the plains and desert of the Levant, with the possibility of frost forming.

A drop in temperatures across the Arabian Gulf and activity of north-westerly winds

God willing, it is expected that all regions of the Arabian Gulf, starting from northern Kuwait to Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Arabian Gulf countries, will be affected in the coming days by a less hot air mass. Therefore, temperatures will drop, which will also be accompanied by cold, dry, and active winds that will noticeably increase the feeling of coldness. The sea in the Arabian Gulf will become turbulent, with waves reaching more than one and a half to two meters in depth. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid sailing in small boats, especially in the depths of the Arabian Gulf.

Night temperatures also drop, making the atmosphere cold, especially at dawn and early morning in inland areas far from marine influences, while they are higher in coastal areas with clouds appearing at different heights. It is also recommended to wear warm clothes, especially in the early morning and night hours.

And God knows best.
