The most prominent expected weather phenomena:

General situation:

  1. Temperatures are cooler than normal at the beginning of the month with a first / second depression, followed by stability and high temperatures.

  2. Early pentathlon depressions impose sharp fluctuations in weather between significant temperature rises followed by cold air masses and rain.

  3. The third and fourth weeks may become overwhelming.

  4. The chances of torrential formation increased several times due to the nature of the conditions that are associated with the fluctuations of the weather systems, which in turn impose high atmospheric instability that leads to thunderstorms.

 

Expected weather systems:

 

Temperature deviation from the general monthly averages:

 

Rainfall deviation from the general monthly averages:


 

Detailed weather condition:

First week (1-7) March 2021:


 

Second week (8-14) March 2021:


 

Third week (15-21) March 2021:


 

The fourth week and the last days of the month (22-31) March 2021:


 

Climate situation (for professionals and interested parties):

Arctic Dome and North Atlantic Ocean
It is expected that the month will start with large fluctuations in the behavior of the Arctic Oscillation Coefficient (AO) between a large decline to reach neutral and possibly slightly negative values ​​during the middle of the first week of the month, to rise again at the end of the first week and the sea of ​​the second week in a strong and possibly approaching +4, amid expectations that the pole will continue to be positive until the end of the month.

Pole positivity means / is related to the decrease in atmospheric pressure in the Arctic Circle, which extends from high latitudes between 60 and 90 north, and affects and is related to the cohesion of the polar air in the higher latitudes of the north of the globe, or what is known as polar cell cohesion and calm in the movement of polar jet currents.
Due to the relative weakness in the intensity of mid-showstorms, and the air pressure not deepening much in the Atlantic Ocean storms or in the European continent. Those sandwiched between latitudes 60 and 40 north.
It is expected that the North Atlantic Oscillation Coefficient (NAO) will rise and exit from the negative pattern gradually during the first week, to become positive after that until the end of the second third of the month, while expectations after that indicate that this indicator will decrease to approach the neutral and possibly negative pattern in Some days during the last third of the month.
The negativity of that factor is related to the bursting of very cold north polar winds and the outbreaks of air storms on parts of western Europe at some periods. While the positive factor of that coefficient indicates an increase in the atmospheric heights on the south and west of the European continent and the rush of warm and humid winds towards the north and west of the European continent.

This is related in the case of the weather in the Sub-Tropical Region, surrounding the Mediterranean basin, where it is close to the tropical region, where it is strongly influenced by the outcome / product of the polar cell in the north and the activity of the mid-width cell (Ferrell cell), and in our case, and in Expectations remained for the absence of strong extremes in values, and their fluctuation between slight negativity and moderate positive for both AO & NAO fluctuations.

As a result, it is expected that some breaks will occur in the wind movement in the upper atmosphere, or what is known as the refraction of jet streams, which leads to the push of cold air masses south towards the European continent, including parts of its east, God willing, especially in the second third of the month, and without It is unlikely that very humid winds will arrive from the Atlantic Ocean, supporting the hypothesis of a rainy depression around the middle of the month, due to the change in the behavior of the North Atlantic Ocean coefficient towards positive, which will push the construction of an air height on the southwest of the European continent and move it gradually eastward.

However, the severity of the high arctic oscillation coefficient will make it difficult for the prospective air system to transform into an integrated polarity in the central and eastern Mediterranean, due to the cold polar air being trapped in high shows in the north away from the Mediterranean basin, and thus the absence of a strong breakage in the currents. The polar jet towards subtropical regions (Mediterranean basin).

Then, during the last third of the month, a change is expected in the distribution of weather systems in the northern hemisphere and the European continent, as cold air masses will take a path towards central and southwestern Europe due to a decline and decrease in the values ​​of the Arctic and North Atlantic oscillation coefficients. Towards neutral values ​​and one of them may enter a negative pattern, which results in high air pressure and the stability of the weather in the eastern Mediterranean at the expense of the return or intensification of air turbulence over the south and west of the European continent and the central and western Mediterranean. Rainy weather over the Levant during this period, due to the rapid and temporary fluctuation that may occur on the air systems.

Equatorial region of the Pacific Ocean
The equatorial region of the Pacific Ocean is witnessing a rise in temperatures while remaining below its general levels, and this is known as the (ENSO) index, as the lanina phenomenon began to weaken and gradually shift to the neutral phase, and this phenomenon is statistically related to the Indian dipole index (IOD), where it is expected to actually start rising. Slightly and gradually over the next two months (March and April and April 2021).

Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea
The Arabian Peninsula is affected by the (IOD) index, and the positive of this indicator indicates that the surface water temperature from the western half of the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea is higher than the general rates, which indicates the increase in the quantities of moisture and water vapor in the air and its rush to the interior of the Arabian Peninsula and the improvement of the rain performance, God willing. The event of the eruption of cold air basins from the north and the formation of instability spring in character

In view of these and other factors in the atmosphere of those interested, which contribute to the crystallization of the atmospheric system, computer modeling projections indicate that the coefficients of fluctuations in the month of March of 2021 will be as follows:

  1. North Atlantic Coefficient (NAO): The positive phase most days of the month, but indications are that it will approach the neutral phase in the third part of the month.
    • The statistically significant effect of the main parameter at this stage alone (without taking the rest of the coefficients) with a correlation coefficient of more than 90% is: Temperatures significantly warmer than usual throughout the European continent, and cooler than usual throughout the Arab world.
  2. Arctic Oscillation Coefficient (AO): The positive phase most days of the month.
    • The statistically significant effect of the main parameter at this stage alone (without taking the rest of the coefficients) with a correlation coefficient of more than 90% is: Temperatures significantly warmer than usual throughout the European continent, and cooler than usual throughout the Arab world.
  3. AMO: the positive phase .
    • The statistically significant effect of the main parameter at this stage alone (without taking the rest of the coefficients) with a correlation coefficient of more than 90% is: Temperatures warmer than usual in the Arab Mashreq.
  4. The laninia phenomenon: the negative phase of weak to moderate intensity.
    • The effect of the main coefficient statistically at this stage alone (without taking the rest of the coefficients) with a correlation coefficient greater than 90% is: There is no effect within the specified correlation coefficient except in the middle of the Mediterranean, represented by higher than normal temperatures.
  5. Pacific Northern Water Surface Temperature Oscillation Coefficient (PDO): negative phase.
    • The effect of the main parameter statistically at this stage alone (without taking the rest of the coefficients) with a correlation factor of more than 90% is: There is no effect within the specified correlation factor.
