A low pressure system affects the north of the Levant but does not reach the Kingdom... Learn about the reasons and details

Arab Weather - Satellite images and remote sensing observatories at the Arab Weather Center indicate the presence of air depressions near the region without any direct effects on the Kingdom, and the situation will continue as it is at the end of this week with the approach of a new air depression from the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea accompanied by rain on Syria and Lebanon, while the southern parts of the Levant, including the Kingdom, remain far from the direct effects of this depression, while they are affected by the cold air mass accompanying it in the form of a decrease in temperatures.

The effects of the air depression, God willing, on the north of the Levant, specifically the Syrian and Lebanese coasts, will be at the end of this week, in the form of cold and rainy weather at times, especially on the coastal areas. The rain will be heavy and sometimes accompanied by thunder. Snow will also fall on the high mountain peaks in Syria and Lebanon, specifically the peaks of Mount Hermon. The air depression is also accompanied by very active southwesterly winds on the coasts of Syria and Lebanon, which leads to turbulent waves.

According to the analytical data in "Arab Weather", this is mainly due to the continuation of weather patterns and the movement of what is called the jet stream in the upper layers of the atmosphere, which does not serve Jordan, so that this stream deepens towards central Europe and the central Mediterranean, and the momentum of weather events is in those areas. In order to achieve a balance in the atmosphere, this great deepening of the jet stream in the central Mediterranean is met by the Kingdom being under the influence of dry air currents in most layers of the atmosphere, and thus the weakness of weather events in the Kingdom, while Syria and Lebanon are affected by some direct effects during the withdrawal of the low pressure to the northeast.

The Kingdom needs weather patterns that help the cold air mass descend directly into the water basin from the eastern Mediterranean Sea, so that a low pressure system is formed and acts as a generator for rainfall.
