Will the effects of the low pressure system in the central Mediterranean reach the Levant? Details

Arab Weather - Satellite images at the Arab Weather Regional Center are still monitoring the presence of a strong low pressure system in the central Mediterranean region, affecting many of the countries overlooking it, especially southern Europe and North Africa, specifically Libya, bringing with it unstable weather conditions accompanied by heavy rains and strong winds with snow falling over the mountains.

The movement of the air depression is very slow and the effects will reach the north of the Levant at the end of the week

The simulation of the low pressure system movement shows that it is moving very slowly due to the weather patterns in the region, which are represented by the low pressure system being surrounded by many strong high pressure systems that impede the movement of the weather system. Despite this, the low pressure system is moving towards the central eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, thus affecting the north of the Levant and parts of Palestine.

The effects of the low pressure system are concentrated specifically on the Syrian and Lebanese coasts at the end of this week, and are accompanied by cold and rainy weather at times, especially in coastal areas. The rain is heavy and sometimes accompanied by thunder. Snow also falls on the high mountain peaks in Syria and Lebanon, specifically the peaks of Mount Hermon, with strong southwesterly winds blowing and the sea being rough.

A cold air mass will affect Jordan starting Thursday, with a noticeable drop in temperatures.

Despite the good effect of the low pressure system, it does not reach the Kingdom.

Despite the good effect of the low pressure system on the north of the Levant, it does not reach Jordan. This is mainly due to the continuation of weather patterns and the movement of the so-called jet stream in the upper layers of the atmosphere, which does not serve Jordan, so that this stream deepens towards central Europe and the central Mediterranean, and the momentum of weather events in those areas is there. In order to achieve a balance in the atmosphere, this great deepening of the jet stream in the central Mediterranean is met by the Kingdom being under the influence of dry air currents in most layers of the atmosphere, and thus the weakness of weather events in the Kingdom.

We ask God to give us rain and not make us among the despairing.

And God knows best.
