A cold air depression covering a large area of the western Mediterranean, accompanied by rain and snow.

Arab Weather - The latest satellite images from the Arab Weather Regional Center show a low-pressure system in the western Mediterranean Sea, covering a large area of European countries bordering the central Mediterranean, including southern Europe. Large amounts of dense clouds surround it.

Rainy and stormy weather with snowfall on the Alps

This weather system is causing heavy rainfall in southern Europe, leading to flash floods and torrential rains, particularly in southern Italy. Due to the cooling air mass accompanying the low pressure system, heavy snow is falling on the peaks of the Alps.

Strong winds accompany the depression and the sea is rough

Due to the deepening of the depression in its center, it is accompanied by strong winds blowing in the Mediterranean Sea, with gusts reaching speeds of approximately 70 km/h. Waves are extremely turbulent at sea, reaching heights of approximately 3 meters. It is advised not to approach the Italian coast due to the severe turbulence of the waves.

The effects of the stormy air depression include Tunisia.

The effects of the low-pressure system in northern Tunisia include cloud accumulation, heavy rainfall, sometimes accompanied by thunderstorms, and hail of varying sizes, which increases the risk of flash floods, the overflow of valleys and ravines, and flooding in low-lying areas.

While the central Mediterranean region is experiencing strong depressions, heavy rain, and snowfall, the southern Levant, including Jordan, continues to be affected by the dry part of the polar jet stream, with a strong high pressure system dominating, creating more stable conditions and temperatures several degrees Celsius higher than average.

And God knows best.
