Weather of Arabia - The main polar air mass separated from the center of the Arctic and moved on Sunday south towards Iceland and the North Atlantic Ocean, due to a record high and historical pressure values over the island of Greenland, where the pressure values there on Sunday reached 1100 hectopascals, which is a historical and standard value.

Gale winds over the North Atlantic, the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea

Due to the extreme values of the two air pressures high over Greenland and low over Scandinavia, strong northerly winds with a speed of 200 km / hour will blow over the British Isles and the coasts of western Norway, and the sea waves will rise to more than 12 meters in the open sea, making the movement of ships difficult.

Low temperatures and snow in important capitals

And because the air mass is of the moist polar type, heavy snow falls throughout the British Isles and the countries of Scandinavia, as far as France, Mansa, the Netherlands and Belgium, and then later snowstorms include the rest of the countries of western, central and eastern European continent during the next day.

Snow also falls in important European capitals such as London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam and Brussels, and many other capitals.

A series of new storms over northern Europe with the end of the week
