Arab Weather - Satellite images at the Arab Weather Regional Center monitor the rush of large amounts of high, rainless clouds covering the skies of most areas of the eastern Mediterranean basin, including the Levant, coming with jet air currents in the upper layers of the atmosphere.

 

Cloud cover extends from central Africa towards the eastern Mediterranean basin.

 

Looking at satellite images, we find that the cloud cover covering the region extends from central Africa, specifically Niger, to the Levant, a distance estimated at about 4,000 kilometers. However, this type of cloud is characterized by not producing rain and is found at high altitudes in the atmosphere, estimated at about 9 to 10 thousand meters above sea level.

 

The temperature at the altitude where the cloud cover is located is about 50 degrees Celsius below freezing, which means that the components of the clouds in the sky are not liquid but rather ice water droplets.

 

God knows best.
