Arab Weather - Social media users circulated reports of heavy snowfall in several areas of the Balkans, specifically the city of Kraljevo in Serbia, at an altitude of 215 meters above sea level, with the snow line dropping to just 200 meters. This is a historic event that, according to weather experts in Serbia, is expected to be remembered for generations to come.
The snowfall is due to the rush of very cold air masses with polar characteristics toward the Balkans. This was accompanied by a deep, stormy low pressure system that led to the condensation of moisture in various layers of the atmosphere, contributing to heavy snowfall at low altitudes, a level not seen in the region for years.
The presence of mountainous heights and the region's topography also contribute to increased snowfall, as the mountains lift moist air to higher levels, accelerating the cooling process and snowfall.
Meanwhile, the Levant is being affected by relatively warm air currents, as a summer-like air mass sweeps in from the central Mediterranean. This will lead to a gradual rise in temperatures starting Friday, with the weather turning relatively hot to hot in most areas on Saturday.
And God knows best.
