Levant | Intensification of atmospheric instability coinciding with the autumnal equinox and recommendations to be aware of the risks of floods
Arab Weather - Weather maps at the Arab Weather Regional Center indicate that Syria and Lebanon, especially the coastal areas, will be increasingly affected by a strong state of atmospheric instability on Sunday, as large amounts of clouds multiply at different altitudes and showers of heavy rain fall, causing floods and rising water levels with strong descending winds during the passage of thunderstorms.
Heavy rains on the coasts of Syria and Lebanon, accompanied by thunderstorms and hail
In detail, weather experts at the Arab Weather Regional Center said that the latest computer outputs indicate an increase in atmospheric instability in the Levant, specifically Syria and Lebanon, coinciding with the first days of astronomical autumn, as cumulonimbus clouds multiply and showers of rain fall (rain is characterized during this time of the year by being very heavy in a short period of time), especially in coastal areas including Latakia and Tartous, in addition to the mountains overlooking the coasts. The rain coincides with strong thunderstorms, which causes flash floods and rising water levels on the roads.
Rain clouds gradually extend towards the interior regions, where showers of rain fall, varying in intensity and accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Thunderstorms include Lebanon and the capital Beirut
God willing, it is expected that rain clouds will extend to the Lebanese coasts and some inland areas, accompanied by rainfall that may be heavy, especially in coastal areas, including the capital Beirut. The rain will be accompanied by thunderstorms with the possibility of floods forming in some areas.
The expected rain is considered dangerous and is the result of a cold air mass advancing in the upper layers of the atmosphere.
The expected rains in Syria and Lebanon are considered dangerous at this time of year due to their high rate of rainfall. The scientific reason behind their occurrence is the rush of a cold air mass in the upper layers of the atmosphere, coinciding with the flow of warmer air currents in the lower layers of the atmosphere, coinciding with the presence of large amounts of humidity, especially in the structural layers of the atmosphere (medium and high).
Chances of scattered rain showers covering parts of Palestine and Jordan
