Arab Weather - The latest satellite images from the Arab Weather Regional Center show thunderstorms over the eastern Mediterranean, specifically around Cyprus, accompanying a low-pressure system in the upper and middle layers of the atmosphere that is considered late for this time of year. The effects of the low-pressure system extend to northern Egypt in the form of a moderate to strong state of atmospheric instability.

 

The low pressure system caused strong thunderstorms in northern Egypt on Saturday, and they are expected to recur today.

This weather system affected northern Egypt on Saturday with severe weather disturbances, accompanied by high thunderclouds, which led to heavy thunderstorms and hail, accompanied by sudden and strong downward winds. The same unstable weather conditions are expected to return to the north of the country, with fears of water pools and thunderstorms.

 

Although the low pressure system is over the sea, why doesn't its effects reach Jordan?

In this context, meteorologists at the Arab Weather Center confirmed that the effects of the weather conditions over the Mediterranean and northern Egypt will not reach Jordan. This is due to the shape of the weather systems, which will cause the low-pressure system to withdraw away from the region in the coming days. This is in addition to the presence of a subtropical high near the Kingdom, which acts as a barrier to the advance of the atmospheric disturbance towards the Kingdom.

 

And God knows best.
