What is the Red Sea Depression?

The Red Sea Depression is a shallow air depression (in the lower layers of the atmosphere) centered over the Red Sea region, and its impact area and location change according to the seasons and surrounding weather conditions. Between the surface water temperature in the Red Sea basin and the land temperature in the Arabian Peninsula and Sudan.

The extension of the Red Sea depression towards Jordan usually causes a rush of hot air masses and sometimes heat waves during the spring and autumn, and this depression shrinks during the summer and the chances of its impact on the Levant region diminish.

On the other hand, the Red Sea depression causes atmospheric instability, especially if its extension towards the Kingdom coincides with a rush of cold air masses from the north. In this case, strong instability forms associated with thunderstorms and dust storms, usually during the spring and autumn seasons.
