A low pressure system has been observed in the western Mediterranean, accompanied by active winds and heavy rains. The effects of the low pressure system will affect an Arab country.
Arab Weather - The latest images recently captured by the remote sensing systems of the Arab Weather Regional Center monitor the formation of a low-pressure system currently centered over the Tyrrhenian Sea between Italy and the island of Sardinia, and dense bands of cumulonimbus clouds laden with heavy rains revolve around its center, coinciding with the blowing of active winds that cause disturbance of sea waves. The low-pressure system affects the Balkan countries, especially Italy, Croatia, Serbia and Greece.
The low pressure system will intensify further tonight over the Balkan countries and will directly affect Greece.
Weather forecasters at the Arab Weather Regional Center said that the latest numerical simulation models indicate that this low pressure system will intensify during the hours of tonight, dawn and Tuesday morning, coinciding with its movement eastward towards Greece, where the direct effects of this weather system will be on large areas of Greece, especially its southern parts. It is expected, God willing, that the low pressure system will cause the movement of dense bands of cumulonimbus clouds accompanied by heavy to very heavy rains, accompanied by strong thunderstorms and heavy hail showers, which increases the possibility of floods and rising water levels. Active winds will also blow, reaching gusts of about 70 km/h, causing severe disturbance of sea waves, with waves reaching a height of 2-3 meters, especially in the depths.
The depression is expected to weaken between Tuesday afternoon and evening, with rain continuing, God willing.
Indirect effects of the weather system on northern Tunisia in the form of active winds and occasional rain showers
During the passage of the low pressure system tonight, it is expected that the northern Tunisian territories will be affected by indirect consequences of the weather system, represented by active winds blowing on the northern coasts, and scattered showers of rain falling in parts of the northern region as a result of the passage of some rain clouds from time to time.
The depression is caused by the rush of a cold upper basin towards the Mediterranean Sea and does not acquire any semi-tropical characteristics.
The weather forecasting staff at the Arab Weather Center confirmed that the low pressure system currently over the sea does not have any semi-tropical characteristics, but rather resulted from a cold air mass rushing upwards towards the Tyrrhenian Sea (which is considered part of the Mediterranean Sea). Due to the sharp temperature differences between the cold air coming from the European continent and the warmer than usual sea surface temperature, the low pressure system was formed by God’s will.
God knows best.
