More than 10 million people face below-freezing temperatures in the Arab world on Monday!

Arab Weather - Several parts of the countries of the eastern Mediterranean basin have been affected since yesterday, Saturday, by a Siberian cold wave resulting from the extension of the Siberian high pressure system towards the region, which led to a significant drop in temperatures and the weather turning very cold during the night and dawn hours.

More than 10 million people face below-freezing temperatures in the Arab world on Monday!

Weather forecasters at "Arab Weather" said that the cold wave led to a drop in temperatures in all the countries of the Levant and the Arabian Peninsula, while the greatest impact of the cold wave was on Iraq, the eastern parts of Syria and Jordan, and reaching the north of the Arabian Peninsula, where temperatures at dawn on Sunday were recorded at nearly zero degrees Celsius and below that in some areas.

The latest numerical model outputs indicate that the Siberian cold wave is expected to deepen at dawn on Monday, causing temperatures to drop below freezing, with more than 10 million people expected to face these low temperatures, distributed across Iraq, eastern Syria, Jordan and northern Saudi Arabia.
