Weather of Arabia- During the past few hours (Thursday morning) an air depression formed to the southwest of the island of Cyprus, accompanied by a cold to very cold air mass, pushed towards the eastern basin of the Mediterranean through the Black Sea and Turkish territories as a result of the presence of an air elevation in many parts of the continent European.

 

This air depression is the coldest - so far - during the current rainy season 2020/2019, but will this large cold be sufficient for snowfall in the Kingdom and major cities?

 

The weather forecast staff in "Arab Weather" answers several questions: "As a result of the depression of the low air for a long period from Thursday to Friday in the basin of the island of Cyprus, far from the Kingdom, cold air in different layers of air will leak into the Kingdom in the various layers of the atmosphere." Just before the actual effect - as we discussed earlier - started on Saturday afternoon, making this cold air in different layers of the atmosphere without an actual impact on the ground.

 

Whereas, around midnight Friday / Saturday until Saturday morning, the opportunity is prepared, weakly, for light and unaffected snow showers in the high mountainous heights throughout the Kingdom, which rise more than 1000 meters above sea level.

 

This includes, above sea level, includes several areas in the highlands of Jerash and Ajloun high, as well as the highlands of the capital and Balqa, in addition to the general highlands of the southern region.

 

However, at the actual start of this depression in the Saturday afternoon, God willing, this great cold will have left the Kingdom’s atmosphere, and thus the chances of snowfall will end on the aforementioned areas, and these opportunities will be confined to the high mountainous southern highlands on Saturday evening until Sunday morning, However, as the report mentioned, the focus of this depression is more pronounced on the northern and central regions without the high southern region heights towards Tafila and Al-Sharah.

 

Thus, the weather forecast staff in "Arab Weather" denies the multiple sources rumors circulating in the Jordanian street that the Kingdom is affected on Saturday 4-1-2020 by a "polar" depression that brings snow to the capital Amman or in the colloquial sense "the snow visits the capital Amman"!

 

Whereas, it seems that the opportunity is ripe for this month in particular - January - and also for the rest of the current winter season because the Kingdom is affected by air depressions accompanied by very cold air masses that bring snowfalls to the Kingdom's heights, where many important regions in the European continent are affected by an air rise in the air layers All, from a period ago, and is expected to continue during many periods of January this year, which in turn raises the chances of a very cold air mass erupting around this European air high, towards the east of the European continent and then the Turkish territories and later the Levant.
