A rare low-pressure system in the Mediterranean Sea is bringing summer thunderstorms to several Arab countries.

Arab Weather - Computer simulation results at the Arab Weather Center indicate that a colder than usual air mass is pushing towards southern Europe and the western Mediterranean, then gradually moving towards eastern Europe and the eastern Mediterranean basin, coinciding with the formation of a low-pressure area, especially in the layers of the atmosphere far from the Earth's surface. This leads to the emergence of unstable weather conditions starting in areas of the Maghreb, including Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, before the remnants of this weather system move eastward towards the eastern Mediterranean basin, causing weather fluctuations in some areas.

A low-pressure system in the western Mediterranean is bringing rare summer rains to several countries.

A low-pressure system is expected to cross the western Mediterranean on Thursday, a rare occurrence for this time of year, bringing summer thunderstorms to parts of North Africa, particularly Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, with the formation of thunderclouds accompanied by varying amounts of rain, possibly accompanied by hail and strong gusts of wind.

The remnants of the weather system are moving eastward, bringing a chance of limited rain to the Levant.

This weather system will move towards the eastern Mediterranean basin at the beginning of next week, particularly on Sunday and Monday, which will lead to a chance of some rain in limited parts of northern Libya. There is also a rare chance for this time of year of rain on Monday in some areas of the Levant, especially the Syrian and Lebanese coasts, and possibly parts of the Palestinian coast, as a result of the approach of the center of the low-pressure area to the eastern Mediterranean basin.

Lower pressure in the upper atmosphere creates strong weather conditions over large areas of Europe.

While the effects of this weather system remain limited on Arab countries, it is expected to cause unstable and severe weather conditions over large areas of the European continent, with heavy to very heavy rainfall in many countries, increasing the risk of flash floods and flooding in several regions.

And God knows best.
