The weather system does not allow the return of air depressions to the Levant during the rest of the month

Arab Weather - Weather experts at the Arab Weather Regional Center said, after conducting a comprehensive follow-up of the weather systems and the distribution of prevailing atmospheric pressures in the northern hemisphere, that it was noted that the prevailing weather systems do not allow the advance of air depressions towards the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea. This is due to the weakness and disruption of the polar vortex, which leads to the concentration of cold surges towards the central Mediterranean Sea, and the formation of air depressions that affect southwestern Europe, specifically the island of Italy and Greece, and North Africa.

General situation promotes the return of storms to the North Atlantic

Looking at the general situation, storms are active in the North Atlantic, where they pull cold air masses and gather them in high latitudes. The Siberian high also extends towards Turkey and Iran, acting as a barrier system to the advance of cold air masses that cause depressions when they reach the warmer water surface. Thus, the weather system does not bode well for the return of depressions anytime soon.

High atmospheric pressures form over the polar vortex.

The polar vortex is clearly weakening and destabilizing, with the atmospheric pressure rising, affecting the layers close to the ground. This explains why polar surges are concentrated towards the North Atlantic and the European continent, promoting the formation of strong highs over the eastern Mediterranean and the Arabian Peninsula.

Despite the departure of the depressions... a state of atmospheric instability on Sunday and Monday

Although the depressions remain far away, weather maps indicate that random and scattered parts of the Levant will witness a state of atmospheric instability that may bring some scattered rain showers, which may sometimes be thundery, and snow showers will fall over the peaks of Lebanon and Syria, God willing.

And God knows best.
