The strong high pressure system has moved away from the European continent, allowing successive polar depressions to descend on those regions.

Arab Weather - Weather maps specializing in monitoring the movements of weather systems indicate a change in the shape of the systems as the strong high pressure system that has been controlling large areas of Europe recently shifts, giving the polar jet stream the opportunity to undulate over the North Atlantic Ocean and northern Europe during the coming period, as very cold polar air masses rush from the (polar vortex) directly towards those areas, causing the formation of very deep air depressions with low air pressure values, which means great activity in Atlantic storms.

 

Heavy Atlantic storm activity and snowstorms in northern and western Europe including the UK

In detail, the weather maps show the rush of huge and very cold polar air masses towards the North Atlantic, and due to the sharp temperature differences between the polar air masses and the temperature of the water surface, the atmospheric pressure values collapse and deep Atlantic storms form moving from the North Atlantic towards northern and western Europe during the coming period, including the Scandinavian countries and the United Kingdom.

 

This exposes these areas to successive snowstorms, and a very cold winter weather prevails with heavy snowfall and accumulation that hinders aspects of public life and affects the movement of roads and railways in these areas. Deep storms also result in strong winds that lead to severe disturbance of the waves on the northern and western shores of Europe, affecting the movement of ships and steamers in seaports.

 

Monitoring the rush of a polar air mass towards central and southern Europe by the middle of next week

By the middle of next week, the huge Azores high will expand towards the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, causing the polar jet stream to break and deepen further towards central and southern Europe, where indicators show a very cold polar air mass rushing towards the aforementioned regions, including France, Italy and all neighboring countries, accompanied by strong winds, heavy snowfall and heavy rain in areas below sea level, with temperatures dropping to several degrees below zero Celsius.

 

And God knows best.
