Arab Weather - The latest satellite images from the Arab Weather Regional Center monitor the formation of a huge Atlantic storm centered off the Norwegian coast, resulting from the rush of a cold polar air mass towards the warmer Atlantic waters, which resulted in a sharp drop in atmospheric pressure values, with expectations of the storm deepening further during Thursday, accompanied by strong winds and heavy snow.

Pressure collapses at center of massive Atlantic storm affecting Scandinavia

In detail, weather specialists at the Arab Weather Regional Center are following up on the latest outputs from the so-called computer simulation, which indicate that the Scandinavian countries will be affected by a huge Atlantic storm tonight and tomorrow, Thursday, which is expected to deepen further, meaning that atmospheric pressure values will drop to about 960 millibars, resulting in strong winds exceeding 100 km/hour and waves reaching a height of about 8 to 10 meters.

Due to the cold polar characteristics of the air mass, temperatures drop to about 15 to 20 degrees below zero, and snow falls in all areas of the Scandinavian countries. At sea level, the snow is very heavy and continuous, God willing.

This is due to the continued weakness of the polar vortex, which results in the concentration of polar depressions towards high latitudes, including northern Europe and the northern Atlantic Ocean, which extend towards southern Europe and result in the formation of air depressions, God willing.

And God knows best.
