Libya | A low pressure system accompanied by large amounts of rain affects the country for several days, and a warning of floods

Arab Weather - The latest weather map outputs in "Arab Weather" indicate that the western coasts of Libya will be affected, starting tomorrow morning, Thursday, by a low-pressure system accompanied by a very cold and humid air mass, centered in southern Italy.

An air mass separates from the jet stream and penetrates into the Mediterranean Sea.

Weather forecasters at "Arab Weather" said that the weather system expected to affect Libya is the result of a cold air mass expected to separate from the jet stream and penetrate towards the Mediterranean Sea waters off the western coast of Libya, resulting in the formation of a low pressure system that will remain for several days over the Mediterranean Sea waters, carrying very high humidity.

Huge amounts of rain expected on the western coasts of Libya

According to the latest weather maps, the depression is expected to be accompanied by heavy to very heavy rains, which may exceed the cumulative rainfall barrier of 200 mm in some areas until next Saturday, and will be concentrated in the northwestern regions of Libya and the western coasts, including the capital, Tripoli, and parts of the interior regions in the northwest of the country.

Strong winds accompany the low pressure

According to weather data in "Arab Weather", the low pressure system is expected to be accompanied by active northerly winds and strong gusts reaching 100 km/h, especially off the western coast, which will lead to a significant rise in waves that may exceed 4 meters off the coast of the capital, Tripoli, and all the western coasts of the country.

Warning of floods and valleys

We, at Arab Weather, warn of the possibility of floods, a significant rise in water levels, and the flow of valleys due to the huge amounts of rain expected to fall, especially in the capital, Tripoli, and several parts of the western coasts and northwestern regions of the country.

The depression will continue until next Saturday

God willing, according to the latest weather maps, it is expected that the effects of the low pressure system will continue until next Saturday, with its direct focus on the northwestern regions. It is not unlikely that some of its effects will extend to parts of the north-central part of the country, but with less intensity than the rest of the regions.
