Levant | A low pressure system brings heavy rain to the coasts and snow expected on the high peaks in Syria and Lebanon in the middle of the week

<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><strong>Arab Weather -</strong> Weather experts at the Arab Weather Regional Center said that the latest outputs from the so-called computer simulation indicate that the Levant will be affected by a low-pressure system centered on the surface south of Turkish territory. Given the proximity of the center of the low-pressure system to Syria and Lebanon, the momentum of the low-pressure system will be on these two countries, especially the coastal areas, starting from Sunday, and requires attention to the risks of torrential floods. Its effects will extend with less intensity towards Palestine and Jordan by the middle of the week, God willing.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>A low pressure system affects the Levant, with its effects concentrated on Syria and Lebanon.</strong></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In detail, God willing, a cold air mass is expected to rush towards the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea, resulting in the formation of a low-pressure system that crosses the Syrian and Lebanese coasts during the hours of Sunday night and Monday dawn, accompanied by a cold air front. Where high-altitude thunderclouds form and a large amount of rain falls in a short period of time on the coastal areas, including Latakia and Tartous, in addition to the mountains overlooking the coasts. The rain coincides with the occurrence of strong thunderstorms and hail, which causes the formation of flash floods and a rise in the water level on the roads, and the rain clouds gradually extend towards the interior regions, where showers of rain fall with varying intensity, accompanied by lightning and thunder.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The high mountains, especially those that are more than 2000 meters above sea level in Syria and Lebanon, are expected to witness snowfall and accumulation amidst a deep winter atmosphere, and we will see scenes of snow, God willing. It is worth noting that some of the peaks of Mount Hermon are more than 2800 meters above sea level, and are among the highest mountain peaks in the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>The effects of the low pressure system extend to Palestine and Jordan</strong></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Regarding the effects of the low pressure system on Palestine, it is expected that temperatures will drop and relatively cold weather will prevail with rain starting from the north of the country at dawn on Monday, passing through the center and south, reaching the Gaza Strip during the day on Monday, which will increase the burden on the displaced, especially in light of the lack of heating and shelter. We ask God to have mercy on them. The rain will sometimes be heavy thunderstorms in some northern areas.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In Jordan, there will be a noticeable drop in temperatures on Monday, and the weather will be humid and relatively cold autumnal, especially in the highlands, with the appearance of clouds, making the weather partly to mostly cloudy, especially in the northern regions, with scattered showers of rain that may sometimes extend to include parts of the center of the Kingdom, especially in the afternoon and evening hours.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> And God knows best.</p>
