Forecast for the last week of the winter square: The absence of winter conditions in the region will continue

Arab Weather - Weather forecasts still indicate the absence of winter weather systems in the Levant, which bring real air depressions to the region in the remainder of the winter square, which ends at the end of January.

Continuation of subsystems in the remainder of the square

The latest outputs of numerical models in "Arab Weather" indicate that the Levant region will continue to be affected by secondary weather systems that bring some rain, amid a complete absence of heavy rainy weather conditions in the coming days and until the end of the winter square, which ends on January 31, 2025. Expectations indicate that the region will be affected by a state of atmospheric instability at the beginning of the week, accompanied by local showers of rain in some areas, randomly, sometimes accompanied by thunder.

Why were the winter depressions absent from the region in the heart of winter?

Many people wonder about the absence of real air depressions in the region, which bring winter weather even with the beginning of the winter square, which is considered the coldest and rainiest period throughout the year in the Levant region.

The experts at “Arab Weather” answer that the reason for the absence of winter patterns in the region is explained by the weather system controlling the northern hemisphere of the Earth, and the scientific reasons for this can be summarized in the following points:

• Weakening of the polar vortex and the dominance of high-pressure air over the North Pole.
• Irregularity and speed of the jet stream and its distance from its original location.
• Cold and humid air masses are concentrated in the west, south and central parts of the European continent.
• A high pressure system controls the region from the south and a Siberian high from the east.

We look at Arab Weather with optimism about a change in the weather systems during the winter quintet, which begins at the beginning of February and ends on March 21. This is represented by the recovery of the polar vortex, the jet stream rushing towards eastern Europe, and the control of a high pressure system over important areas of the European continent, which allows the formation of winter depressions over the eastern Mediterranean basin region. We will provide you with the latest developments in the weather conditions as soon as they are issued.
