Pressure collapses at center of massive polar storm, bringing heavy snow, heading straight for Iceland

<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><strong>Arab Weather -</strong> The latest weather updates issued by the computer models approved by the Arab Weather Center indicate an increase in the intensity of the activity of polar Atlantic storms during the day and the coming period, as the North Atlantic regions are witnessing severe weather fluctuations. These fluctuations include a significant drop in temperatures and strong winds that may reach speeds of 100 kilometers per hour or more, with an increased chance of snowfall in Iceland as a result of the advance of a severe and massive Atlantic storm.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Significant changes in the weather in the countries overlooking the North Atlantic in the coming period</strong></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In detail, weather experts at the Arab Weather Regional Center said that the shape of weather systems in the northern hemisphere is taking on winter-like features, as polar air masses have grown above the Arctic Circle, which has led to the strengthening of the rush of very cold air masses coming from the North Pole towards the North Atlantic Ocean, which interact with warm and humid weather systems in the ocean, leading to the formation of a deep low pressure system that has developed into a huge storm with very low air pressure values of 974 millibars, moving across the Atlantic Ocean towards Iceland, which will cause weather disturbances that may last for several days.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%AD%D9%88%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84... the World | Summer snow adorns the Alps in its most beautiful form, and more is expected in the coming days</strong></a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Atlantic storm with massive cold front hits Iceland</strong></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> As the air masses rush in and an Atlantic storm forms, accompanied by a cold air front, the storms cause strong winds and high waves, in addition to heavy rainfall and snowfall in Iceland, and temperatures drop below zero degrees Celsius in several areas amidst very cold weather.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> This is not expected to be the last Atlantic storm, as another storm is expected to form within the next 24 hours with the cold winds. In this context, these storms are causing very high waves on the Atlantic coasts, which may lead to coastal flooding in some low-lying areas.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%AD%D9%88%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84... the World | A region in Europe receives more than 400 mm in four days, equivalent to what falls on Amman in a whole year</strong></a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>The collapse in air pressure at the center of the storm highlights the occurrence of the fragmented annular explosion phenomenon.</strong></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> With the collapse of atmospheric pressure at the center of the storm, experts at the Arab Weather Center said that the phenomenon of &quot;explosive cyclone&quot; or bomb cyclone was prominent in the storm, which is a weather phenomenon that results in a collapse in atmospheric pressure values to reach values similar to the atmospheric pressure values in tropical storms and hurricanes, but outside the tropical region. The storms that arise from this phenomenon do not acquire any tropical characteristics.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> A bomb cyclone occurs when a cold air mass meets a warm, moist one, causing a drop in air pressure of 24 millibars in 24 hours. This type of weather phenomenon is most common in the North Atlantic Ocean.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> God knows best.</p>
