Arab Weather - Weather experts at the Arab Weather Regional Center said that the latest data from the so-called computer simulation indicate the expansion of the Azores high pressure system towards southwest Europe, resulting in a break in the jet stream and the passage of several very cold upper waves south of the European continent, producing air depressions accompanied by heavy rain and snow.

 

A deep low pressure system in southern Europe at the end of the week, accompanied by heavy rain and snow over the mountainous heights.

 

In detail, a cold, polar air mass is rushing directly towards southern Europe and reaching the sea, leading to the formation of a deep low pressure system over the Tyrrhenian Sea between Italy and France. The low pressure system is accompanied by the formation of large amounts of clouds laden with heavy rain, as heavy rain falls on many countries in southern Europe, especially Italy and neighboring countries, leading to the formation of floods and rising water levels.

 

The same weather system also results in widespread snowfall covering most of the mountainous areas in southern Europe, especially the highlands of Italy and the Balkan countries. The snow will be heavy and accumulated over these areas, disrupting public life, God willing.

 

A deep depression with strong winds, heavy rain and snow will affect southern Europe at the end of the week.

 

Strong winds accompanying the weather system, with gusts exceeding 120 km/h.

 

Due to the low atmospheric pressure values, the pressure differences become high between the center of the depression and the surrounding areas, which leads to strong winds with strong gusts exceeding 120 km/h, which leads to severe wave disturbance. The wave height in the western Mediterranean on the coasts of the Italian islands reaches about 8-10 meters, threatening coastal areas with severe flooding.

 

The Azores High continues to remain in southwest Europe, resulting in a new surge of very cold air mass.

 

Computer data shows that the Azores high pressure system will continue to remain over southwestern Europe, resulting in a new surge of very cold air masses towards southern Europe and North Africa. It may be colder than its predecessor, resulting in the formation of a new, deep low pressure system that will bring strong winds to southern Europe and the Mediterranean. Rainfall will resume in low-lying areas, while heavy snow will fall over high mountain ranges.

 

A rainy condition affects the region with the last days of autumn astronomically (details)

 

And God knows best.
