The eleventh episode of a weather story program that talks about yellow snow
The word snow is usually associated with the pure white scenes, but in a strange weather event that affected the Levant and Jordan a deep depression in the year 1998 and snow fell, but it was yellow.
The Levant and Jordan were affected by the deepest depression in the history of climatic records, as the atmospheric pressure in this depression reached 985 millibars, and a deep depression had formed around the island of Feras on March 16, 1998, and this caused the beginning of a sharp and significant rise in temperatures in Most of the regions of the Levant, where the temperature reached approximately 27-28 degrees Celsius.
The depression was accompanied by strong strong winds whose gusts exceeded 100 km / h, which formed sandstorms in parts of Egypt, Jordan, Palestine, Syria and Lebanon, and a noticeable decrease in the range of horizontal visibility.
The depth of the depression led to the withdrawal of a very cold and polar air mass towards the Levant, and thus led to the formation of a snow storm only after the temperature reached 27 degrees Celsius in Amman and Jerusalem, and because of the dust, the snow was yellow.
