An exceptional climate condition is experienced in central and southern Europe, which will continue in the coming days.
Arab Weather - Central and southern European regions are witnessing an unusual climate, as they are affected by unstable air masses that have led to severe weather fluctuations, causing very heavy thunderstorms for several days. These rains have led to floods and landslides, as rainfall amounts exceeded 400 mm in some areas.
A low pressure system with high atmospheric activity affects central and southern Europe.
In detail, weather experts at the Arab Weather Center reported that as a result of the undulation of the polar jet stream, a cold air mass rushed towards southern and central Europe. A highly effective low pressure system was formed, accompanied by heavy thunderstorms. Due to the change in the shape of the weather systems, the upper low pressure system separated from the general circulation of the jet stream, which led to the formation of a cut-off low pressure system that remained in place for several days, resulting in more heavy rains and severe thunderstorms.
This type of weather condition is also accompanied by strong upward air currents, which produces exceptional hailstorms accompanied by large hailstones, which cause damage to public property.

Impacts on affected countries
As cold air passes over the warming surface of the Mediterranean Sea, and as tropical humidity spreads, weather activity intensifies, strongly affecting central and southern Europe, particularly in the Balkan countries such as Italy and Greece. High-altitude thunderclouds form, accompanied by heavy rain, which increases the risk of flash floods and torrential rains.
Explanation of the atmospheric system for those interested and specialized
Scientifically, the Rex Block system dominates northern Europe, a special weather pattern that occurs in the atmosphere. A high-pressure system forms between two low-pressure systems, resulting in stable and stable weather conditions in a certain area for a long period.
This pattern causes moving weather systems to "block" the progress of the system, causing hot, cold, dry, or wet weather to remain in one place for days or even weeks. This pattern is common in transitional seasons such as spring and fall, and can lead to droughts or floods due to the persistence of stable weather conditions.
