Arab Weather - Remote sensing systems at the Arab Weather Center indicate that the prevailing weather patterns in the region show the rush of a very cold air mass towards the central Mediterranean, and as a result of the large thermal differences between the rushing air mass and the temperature of the water surface, a very deep air depression is formed, centered in the central Mediterranean, surrounded by huge amounts of thunderclouds laden with heavy rain and snow.

Is the storm affecting the central Mediterranean named Elena and will it acquire any tropical characteristics?

The European centers have named the storm affecting the central Mediterranean Sea Elena, and experts at the Arab Weather Regional Center indicate that the deep air depression currently over the sea waters does not have any semi-tropical characteristics, but rather resulted from the rush of a very cold air mass towards the waters of the Ionian Sea (which is considered part of the Mediterranean Sea) and due to the sharp temperature differences between the cold air coming from the European continent and the warmer sea surface temperature, the air depression was formed by God’s will.

God knows best.
