Jordan: Observing the emergence of a new depression at the end of this week.. What is the reality of snowfall?

Arab weather - large areas of the European continent and North Africa are still under the influence of an air rise in all layers of the atmosphere, which worked on the rule of a warmer and drier atmosphere than usual in all of those areas, and unusually during the last period, and it is expected that it will rush A new, very cold and humid air mass will cross the Greek islands and the Aegean Sea towards the eastern basin of the Mediterranean, and with the presence of other favorable conditions, an air depression will arise that will center over the Cyprus basin and then move in the northeastern direction at the end of this week, God willing.

A new depression brings rain to most areas Friday 04-02-2022

In the details, it is expected that this depression and the very cold air mass associated with it will cause a sharp and continuous drop in temperatures on Friday 04-02-2022, and thus become several degrees lower than their rates for this time of the year, and the weather will be cold to very cold. In several areas, with rain, God willing, in most areas, the rains are sometimes heavy and accompanied by the occurrence of thunder and heavy showers of hail.

It is expected that this air depression will move away from the region on Friday/Saturday night, but the remnants of the extremely cold air mass associated with it are expected to keep the opportunity ready for scattered and intermittent rainfall in parts of the north and center of the Kingdom in addition to the southern highlands on Saturday 05-02- 2022, and it is expected that fog will form at many times over the mountainous heights, including the capital, Amman, after passing through low clouds touching the surface of the earth during the period of influence of this wet air mass.

Is there snow with this depression?

The weather forecast cadre in Arab weather answers: “The cold polar winds will be concentrated, God willing, over the Balkan basin, and a small part of them will flow behind the depression to Jordan and the Levant. Some snowfalls over the southern high mountains, whose height is more than 1300 meters, during the daytime hours on Friday, and with regard to the expectations of the rest of the Kingdom’s high altitudes, the chance of snow falling on them is relatively weak compared to the southern regions, but it is available in the form of snow showers or mixed with rain during the day Friday.

When shedding light on the reason for the lack of large-scale snowfalls during the upcoming depression, it comes because the polar air that will rush towards the region will lose many of its polar properties due to the long path of that cold mass expected over the Mediterranean Sea with warm temperatures compared to the continental regions Cold (Northern and Eastern Europe), which leads to a radical change in the characteristics of the air masses reaching us, which will positively affect the permanence of rainy weather, at the expense of the lack of snow opportunities in Jordanian cities.

Accordingly, the weather forecast staff in “Arab Weather” denies the rumors from multiple sources spreading in the Jordanian street, which say that the Kingdom will be affected on Friday 04-02-2022 by a “polar” air depression that brings snow to the capital Amman, or in the colloquial sense “snow”!!

What after this low and the coming weeks of February?

Despite the remoteness of the time period, at which time the weather forecasts are less accurate, the signs are also good, and it is taken that the air rise will remain in control of the European continent and will expand east and north at intervals to reach the Scandinavian countries, forcing the rush of more cold and very cold air masses towards the region, The cadre of weather forecasts in Arabia Weather issued the monthly bulletin for the month of February 2022, which stated that "the cold masses will continue to rush towards the Kingdom to impose a colder atmosphere than usual, and rain is present on more than one occasion with renewed snow opportunities, God willing"...
