Continuation of polar surges in large areas of northern Europe and the Atlantic Ocean in the coming days: What is their impact on the eastern Mediterranean? (Details)

Arab Weather - The latest readings resulting from what is called computer simulation show an expected continuation of the rush of very cold polar air masses towards northern Europe and the North Atlantic, in addition to large parts of North America, which results in the continued formation of deep air depressions in those regions, accompanied by heavy snowfall amidst very cold weather.

The polar vortex continues to send its cold winds towards the upper latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere.

In detail, weather experts at the Arab Weather Regional Center said that current readings indicate an expected continuation of the polar jet stream’s break towards large areas of northern Europe and the northern Atlantic Ocean, in addition to large areas of North America and Canada, which will result, God willing, in the continued formation of deep air depressions that will bring snowfall to large areas amidst very cold winter weather.

The Siberian high continues to spread over large areas of Asia

At the same time, the Siberian high continues to be located over the region, specifically over eastern Turkey and neighboring countries, which imposes more stable but extremely cold weather in several regions of Europe and Asia as a result of the extreme cold accompanying the high, which is scientifically called the "Continental Polar Air Mass."

Many countries in Asia and Europe are experiencing early and unusually cold Siberian weather for this time of year, with freezing and ice occurring in several areas as a result of the significant drop in temperatures to below zero degrees Celsius.

The blocking pattern (high pressure area) continues over the eastern Mediterranean as a barrier to the advance of low pressure systems.

In contrast to all these weather systems covering the countries of the Northern Hemisphere, the "Rex Block" high pressure pattern continues to act as a barrier to the advance of depressions, which is a type of weather pattern that causes blockage or obstruction of air flows in the upper layers of the atmosphere. This phenomenon occurs when a long-term high pressure (high) arises and prevents the advance of depressions.

This blocking pattern occurs when there is a stable high pressure area over a certain area, and at the same time, there is a strong low pressure area moving in the opposite direction or next to this high, which leads to the formation of a "U" or "W" shape in the pressure lines, where highs (high pressure) form on the sides and lows (low pressure) in the middle, which leads to the freezing of the weather patterns, and thus the weather continues for a long time without major changes.

And God knows best.
