Arab Weather - The latest forecasts of the weather maps developed within "Arab Weather" indicate that the jet stream has been observed to deepen early towards the region, which has resulted in the eastern Mediterranean region, including the Kingdom, being affected by an early cold wave and a clear drop in temperatures and remarkably cold weather, especially during the night and early morning hours.

A rare atmospheric behavior at this time of year forces the polar jet stream closer to the region.

The special maps at the Arab Weather Center monitored a rare behavior of the movement of the atmosphere in the northern hemisphere, represented by an abnormal undulation of the polar jet stream and its approach to intermediate and semi-tropical latitudes, which forced cold and polar air masses to approach the eastern Mediterranean basin region, in light of the positioning of a high pressure system in important parts of the European continent, which led to the rush of cold and dry winds accompanying the polar air mass positioned southeast of the European continent, which resulted in the formation of an early cold wave in Jordan and all countries of the eastern Mediterranean basin, especially the eastern ones, including the northeastern Arabian Peninsula.

Thursday and Friday: Cold weather during the night and early morning hours

The latest weather forecasts indicate that the Kingdom will continue to be affected by the cold wave during the weekend, with significant activity expected in the eastern winds, especially during the day on Friday, due to the ineffective progress of what is known as the Red Sea depression, which will lead to the continued blowing of dry south-eastern winds towards the region, increasing the feeling of coldness, especially during the night, dawn and early morning hours, and sometimes stirring up dust and dirt in some areas.

Weather forecasters at "Arab Weather" said that medium-term indicators still indicate the continuation of the unusually undulating polar jet stream and its rare approach to the region and its rush to the southeast of the European continent, which gives us an initial idea of the possibility of the renewal of the high pressure system over important parts of the European continent in the last days of October and the beginning of November, which increases the possibility of renewed cold waves or the Kingdom being affected by a state of atmospheric instability later.
