Heavy rains hit several countries in southern Europe, accompanied by a low-pressure system that is affecting North Africa.

Arab Weather - The specialized weather maps at the Arab Weather Regional Center indicate that a cold air mass is rushing across all layers of the atmosphere towards southern Europe, leading to the formation of a low-pressure system over the central Mediterranean Sea, affecting many southern European countries, especially Italy. The system is accompanied by snowfall over high mountain peaks and heavy rains in the rest of the regions, along with strong winds and turbulent sea waves.

Heavy rains in several countries in southern Europe accompanying the low pressure system.

The direct impacts of this weather system are expected to be on large areas of southern Europe, especially Italy and Greece, reaching southern Turkey. The low pressure system is expected to cause dense bands of cumulus clouds accompanied by heavy to very heavy rains, accompanied by strong thunderstorms and heavy hail showers, which increases the likelihood of flooding and rising water levels. Strong winds will also blow, reaching 80 km/h, causing severe sea disturbances, with waves reaching 3-5 meters in height, especially in the depths.

The effects of the low pressure system include several countries in North Africa as it moves southeast.

As the low pressure system moves southeast, its effects extend to several countries in North Africa, particularly northern Libya, where active winds are blowing (leading to the formation of sandstorms in desert areas). Sea conditions are rough, and cold, rainy winter weather prevails, sometimes with heavy rainfall.

Weather maps from the Arab Weather Center show that the low pressure system will move south toward the Gulf of Sirte in Libya, deepening thereafter by the end of the week. This will affect Libya with cumulonimbus clouds, heavy rains across various northern regions, accompanied by thunderstorms and possible hail showers. Winds will be particularly active, leading to sandstorms in desert areas.

The low pressure system is caused by a cold air mass rushing upwards towards the Mediterranean Sea and does not acquire any subtropical characteristics.

The Arab Weather Center's weather forecasting team confirmed that the current low pressure system over the sea does not have any subtropical characteristics. Rather, it is the result of a cold air mass rushing upwards towards the Ionian Sea (which is considered part of the Mediterranean Sea). Due to the sharp temperature differences between the cold air coming from the European continent and the warmer sea surface temperature, the low pressure system was formed by God's will.

And God knows best.
