Arab Weather - Weather experts at the Arab Weather Center said that computer maps indicate that the weather systems expected during the coming week are represented by a high pressure system controlling the western Mediterranean and the stability of the atmosphere, while a polar air mass of very cold origin is rushing towards many countries in the eastern Mediterranean, causing a cold wave. Details:

 

A strong high pressure system controls Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, with stable but cold weather

A high pressure system controls all layers of the atmosphere in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia most days of the week, where calm and stability prevail in the atmosphere. However, despite the stable atmosphere, the weather will remain cold during the day and very cold at night, God willing.

 

Cold air mass over Libya and Egypt and hot weather over Sudan

In Egypt and Libya, a radical change in the weather occurs as a result of the advance of cold polar air towards northern Libya and later northern Egypt, where temperatures drop and strong winds blow, causing the Mediterranean waves to rise on the beaches. Very cold weather prevails at night, requiring the wearing of heavy clothing, especially for residents of exposed and mountainous areas.

 

While the weather is stable and hot in South Sudan, and temperatures are in the forties, the effects of the cold air mass extend towards northern Sudan, with expectations of a drop in temperatures and a noticeable increase in the concentration of dust in the atmosphere, with a chance of showers of rain on parts of the coast.

 

Rain concentrated on the coasts of the Levant at the beginning of the week, followed by a cold air mass of polar Siberian origins

Weather fluctuations will gradually begin to affect the country from Sunday, as temperatures drop and winds become very active, and heavy rains will begin to fall on large areas of the Levant coasts, extending to lesser intensity to Palestine and Jordan, reaching northern Iraq on Monday. Snow is also expected to fall and accumulate on the peaks of Syria, Lebanon and northern Iraq.

 

Starting Monday, the Levant and Iraq will be affected by a Siberian cold wave, accompanied by a significant and noticeable drop in temperatures, which will be colder than usual for this time of year. Very cold weather will prevail at night, with temperatures approaching zero degrees Celsius, especially in the highlands and plains of the Levant, with frost forming in large areas and freezing in areas that were exposed to rainfall, especially Syria and Lebanon.

 

A stable start to the weather in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, with a noticeable decrease, with increasing chances of rain

The weather will be stable and hotter than usual at the beginning of the week, while temperatures will rise significantly in Kuwait and northern Saudi Arabia, reaching northern Riyadh starting Monday, with a chance of rain showers in some areas.

 

The weather will be stable, hotter and warmer in Bahrain, Qatar and the Emirates at the beginning of the week, with expectations of a drop in temperatures during the second half of the week, with significant activity in the northwesterly winds and turbulent waves in the Arabian Gulf.

 

Thirty-degree temperatures in Oman and Yemen throughout the week

The weather will be warmer and more stable than usual in both the Sultanate of Oman and the State of Yemen, and temperatures will be in the thirties during the day with rain falling on the mountains of Yemen, but the weather will remain pleasant during the night hours, God willing.

 

*And God knows best.*
