A regional winter system will include several countries in the Eastern Mediterranean starting next Wednesday, God willing.

Arab Weather - Weather experts at the Arab Weather Regional Center said that the latest outputs from the so-called computer simulation indicate that the Levant , Iraq, and Egypt will be affected by the first real winter weather system this winter in the form of a cold and rainy low pressure system, during Wednesday and Thursday, God willing, followed by a cold wave and frost in several regions.

A low pressure system affects the Levant and extends to Iraq and northern Egypt

In detail, it is expected, God willing, that a very cold air mass of polar origin will rush towards southern Turkey and separate from the mother mass, resulting in the formation of a low pressure system that will begin to affect the country on Wednesday, February 5, and will deepen on Wednesday/Thursday night, accompanied by a cold air front. Therefore, the weather will be cold and stormy.

Heavy rain clouds are forming covering the eastern Mediterranean basin, and rain falls, God willing, on all areas of the Levant, with heavy rainfall in coastal areas, especially Syria and Lebanon. The low pressure system brings a very good amount of rain with hail showers, causing floods and rising water levels on the roads.

The mountains of Syria, Lebanon and northern Iraq are also expected to witness snowfall and accumulation amidst a deep winter atmosphere, and we will see scenes of snow, God willing. It is worth noting that some of the peaks of Mount Hermon are more than 2,800 meters above sea level, and are among the highest mountain peaks in the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula.

Could the upcoming low pressure system bring snow to Jordan?

The direct answer to this question, according to the Arab Weather Center, is that the rushing cold is enough to cause some snowfall in the high mountains, but the coincidence of this cold with the precipitation remains the problem in sensing it early. Based on what was mentioned about the great confusion in sensing the movement of the air mass, it is too early to determine whether there will be snowfall in this depression or not at this early time ( the rest of the details ).

The effects of the low pressure system reach Egypt

As for Egypt, God willing, it is expected that the effects of the cold air mass accompanying the low pressure system will extend towards Egypt on Wednesday and deepen on Thursday, where temperatures will gradually and noticeably drop to be lower than their averages for this time of year, especially on Thursday. During the day, cold weather will prevail in various northern regions, including the capital Cairo, while temperatures will be moderate in the southern regions ( details ).

With the appearance of clouds at different heights, there is a chance for scattered showers of rain to fall on some areas of the North Coast. During the night hours, the weather will be remarkably cold, and night temperatures will be colder than their usual rates for this time of year.

Active northwesterly winds are expected to blow across all northern regions, accompanied by strong gusts that will cause dust and sand waves, especially on desert and exposed roads. As for the sea, the winds will be strong and accompanied by strong gusts that will lead to severe disturbance in the sea waves, with the wave height exceeding 5 meters near the shore and in the depths.

And God knows best.
