Starting Wednesday, February 5, 2025: A winter system reaches the region for the first time this winter, resulting in a classified low pressure system followed by a cold wave.

Arab Weather - The weather maps at the "Arab Weather" Center indicate that the results of computer simulations of air mass movements now indicate the arrival of a winter system towards the eastern region of the Mediterranean Sea for the first time in this form in the current winter season, starting from Wednesday, February 5, 2025.

According to the same weather maps produced by the Arab Weather Center, a very cold air mass of polar origin is expected to slide from northern Europe towards Turkey on Wednesday, February 5, 2025. Computer simulation maps indicate that this mass will separate from the mother mass and will rotate around itself so that it will be positioned over Turkey for several days, leading to the formation of a low pressure system that will affect the entire region, including the Kingdom, followed by a cold wave and very low temperatures.

First classified winter depression after 60 days of waiting

According to specialists at the Arab Weather Center, there are high indicators that the Kingdom will be affected by a classified winter depression, God willing, on Wednesday and Thursday (February 5 and 6, 2025). The Kingdom will be affected by a classified winter depression after a wait of more than 60 days, as the Kingdom was not affected by natural winter depressions this winter, which led to the Kingdom experiencing a rainy reality that is considered the weakest in decades.

This low pressure system is expected to bring good rains to the north and central east of the Kingdom, in addition to strong winds and low temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday. According to the latest indicators, this low pressure system will move quickly towards the east, so that the weather activity will decrease on Thursday afternoon, but it is too early to delve into the exact details of the low pressure system due to the lack of confidence in the final shape of the air mass.

Cold wave follows the low pressure

In the last two days, indicators have increased through the weather maps at the Arab Weather Center that there is a possibility that the effect of this winter weather system after this low pressure system will be in the form of a cold wave and very low temperatures that may lead to frost in large areas of the Kingdom. It is likely that the Kingdom will experience the coldest temperatures since the beginning of the current winter season this weekend, due to the flow of very cold winds through non-humid paths that make it lack precipitation.

Major interference in computer simulation due to air mass separation

According to specialists at the Arab Weather Center, computer simulations have recently sensed that the very cold air mass of polar origins causing this winter system will separate from the so-called mother mass in northern Europe, which exposes the computer simulation to significant interference in monitoring the areas where this mass is located. Arab Weather experts explain that this interference is important to take into account due to the impact of the final shape of the air mass on the weather system that will affect the Kingdom, as the results of some computer models show that the expected low pressure system may be very fast and its time impact will be limited, while other computer models have sensed that this mass may deepen further and thus lead to the advancement of the classification of this low pressure system and increase its impact on the Kingdom.

Could the upcoming low pressure system be accompanied by snow?

The direct answer to this question, according to the Arab Weather Center, is that the rushing cold is enough to cause some snowfall in the high mountains, but the coincidence of this cold with the snowfalls remains the problem in sensing it early. Based on what was mentioned about the great confusion in sensing the movement of the air mass, it is too early to determine whether there will be snowfall in this depression or not at this early time.

Stable and warm temperatures prior to these changes.

The weather maps in "Arab Weather" also indicate that a significant rise in temperatures is expected, God willing, before these changes in the atmosphere, so that the weather will stabilize on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and temperatures will rise significantly and reach nearly 20 degrees Celsius in an atmosphere closer to spring weather, a few days before the winter weather system arrives in the region.

under constant surveillance

Arab Weather specialists are monitoring weather changes around the clock, and will keep you updated on the latest weather developments, God willing.

We ask God Almighty to bestow upon us the blessing of rain and to provide us with abundant, pleasant, pleasant, immediate, not delayed, beneficial and not harmful rain.
