<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><strong>Arab Weather -</strong> The results of computer simulations at the Arab Weather Regional Center indicate the formation of a strong high-pressure system in large areas of western and central Europe. As a result, the polar jet stream undulates and a very cold and large air mass rushes in from the high polar latitudes towards eastern Europe and northern Asia, leading to the formation of a deep low-pressure system southwest of Russia, accompanied by heavy snowfalls including the highlands of northern Turkey, specifically Trabzon and Rize.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>A polar air mass is hovering over eastern Europe, accompanied by heavy snowfall.</strong></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In detail, a very cold and unusual air mass for this time of year, characterized by polar characteristics, rushed to eastern Europe and northern Asia for the second time in less than a month, including northern Turkey in addition to northern Asia. This was accompanied by a significant drop in temperatures to below zero degrees Celsius, especially over the mountains, which dominated the very cold atmosphere with snowfall in the highlands, including the Turkish highlands specifically Rize and Trabzon.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> This cold wave comes after Eastern Europe, including Turkey, was affected by a polar air mass at the end of October, which was also accompanied by negative temperatures and heavy snowfall. This is due to the control of a high pressure system in important areas of Europe, which forces polar air to surround it and descend from high latitudes towards lower latitudes.</p>
