Arab Weather - Large areas of central Europe are affected by a cold wave and the formation of a low-pressure system accompanied by heavy rain and thunderstorms. Heavy snow has also fallen and accumulated in large thicknesses over the European Alps, due to the coldness of the various layers of the atmosphere and the great height of these mountain ranges above sea level.
The Arab Weather Center's dedicated team has captured several video clips showing the Alps being hit by heavy snowfall, accumulating to a considerable thickness. We must remember that we are still in the middle of spring.

Meteorologists at the Arab Weather Regional Center said that the latest advanced computer outputs indicate an increase in the flow of cold winds across various layers of the atmosphere in the coming days. Heavy rains, sometimes accompanied by thunderstorms, and large hail are expected to fall on several countries in western, central, and southern Europe, including the Balkans. This will increase the risk of flash floods and torrential rains.
In the same context, advanced computer outputs indicate an increasing vulnerability of the Alps. As temperatures drop across the various layers of the atmosphere, and given the unique nature of the Alps, which are more than 3,000 meters above sea level, the density of snowfall increases, leading to snow thicknesses ranging between one and two meters on some towering peaks.
And God knows best.
