A cold air mass affects western Europe, while temperatures rise in the Levant.

Arab Weather - The latest weather analyses from the Arab Weather Center indicate a clear and striking contrast in weather patterns between the two shores of the Mediterranean Sea over the next few days. While the Levant is gradually being affected by a hot air mass coming from the Arabian Peninsula, large areas of western Europe are being exposed to an air mass that is unusually cold for this time of year.

This cold front is causing a significant drop in temperatures across Ireland, the United Kingdom, northern France, and northern Spain, where autumnal to relatively cold weather is expected during the day, while nighttime temperatures are expected to drop significantly, approaching 7 degrees Celsius or even lower in some inland and high-altitude regions.

This temperature inversion in western Europe is attributed to the rush of polar air currents from the North Atlantic, driven by an active low-pressure system centered around the British Isles. This system is causing cold, moist northerly winds, significantly enhancing the feeling of chill.

In contrast, the Levant is under the influence of hot air currents, which are driving temperatures above normal levels in most areas, but not yet reaching the level of a heat wave due to the opposition of northwesterly winds coming from the Mediterranean.

And God knows best.
