Arab Weather - the latest satellite images and remote sensing observatories in the Arab Regional Weather Center, indicating the presence of the Mediterranean storm centered in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea off the Libyan coast and away from the nearest point from the northern coast of Egypt (Salloum) about 800 km away, and it is expected during the two days Coming, this storm will have indirect effects on many regions of the Egyptian Republic, and here are the details:

Rain of varying intensity in many regions of Egypt

Forecast for the path of the Mediterranean storm over the next two days

In the details, according to the future computer simulations of the movement of this storm, it is expected that it will move to the northeastern coasts of Libya gradually during the coming hours and then along the western coasts of Egypt with the hours of Sunday evening, and then move away towards Turkish lands coinciding with the gradual decline in its strength.

With the dawn and morning hours of Sunday, it is expected that the indirect effects of the Mediterranean storm will increase on Egypt, through the formation of random thunderstorm clouds accompanied by rain of varying intensity and active winds in some areas, so that the chances of rain will increase, God willing.

It is expected that the chances of rain, with the dawn and morning hours of Sunday, will include parts of the northern and central Delta, which may extend less severely to parts of Greater Cairo, and the intensity of heavy rains will be for some time, which may result in the formation of some water gatherings and torrential rains in some areas.

The chances of rain also include parts of northern Upper Egypt and the cities of the Canal all the way to Sinai, and the rains are mostly light to medium intensity, with an opportunity for sporadic showers of rain in parts of Upper Egypt and the heights of the Red Sea, and the impact of the Mediterranean storm also includes turmoil on the western coast of the Mediterranean and near the coasts of Marsa Matrouh with an expected rise in the waves, in addition to raising dust in those areas.

The science behind this Mediterranean storm

This Mediterranean storm comes as a result of a cold air mass rushing from the north of the European continent in conjunction with the flow of moist and warm air coming from the south, which generates strong weather conditions in a narrow geographical range, so that the air system acquires tropical characteristics, and the marine areas to the east and west of Italy are the most areas An example of these weather conditions in the Mediterranean.

One of the most important conditions necessary for the development of this type of Mediterranean storm is the rise in the surface temperature of sea water to more than 22 degrees Celsius, and in this case we find that the temperature has exceeded that and reached 25 degrees Celsius, in addition to the presence of warm and humid air currents, as required for the development of this type One of the systems is weak shear winds to allow the clouds to develop and not be scattered.

Alerts from Arabia Weather:

• Attention to the possibility of torrential rains forming in some areas due to heavy rains in parts of the northern region.
• Attention to the occurrence of slippages on the roads due to rain in areas experiencing rainfall.
• Attention to the activity of wind speed in Matrouh and what is accompanied by raised dust and dust, in addition to the turbulence of the sea in those areas.
