Instability differs from the usual depressions, so that they are sometimes more dangerous and damaging than the depressions. Why ..?
Conditions of atmospheric instability are defined as the convergence of warm and hotter air currents in the surface layers of the atmosphere (near the surface of the earth) with cold air currents in the upper atmosphere (far from the surface of the earth) with the presence of proportions of moisture in the atmosphere, when the above conditions are completed The so-called state of atmospheric instability arises as cumulative clouds multiply and the rains begin to fall in limited geographical areas and the rains are characterized by irregularity in their intensity and geographical distribution, where a region may witness heavy rain and others close to it that do not witness any rain or witness slight precipitation that is negligible while the other is exposed. For torrents, it is difficult for forecasters to accurately locate precipitation as in depressions, and there is a prominent feature, which is the most important in those cases, which is the sudden reversal of the atmosphere from stability to turbulence in a short period of time.
Instability is considered dangerous and its danger is almost more severe than atmospheric depressions at times and may lead to loss of life and property, as happened in 2018 (the Dead Sea disaster). Perhaps the main reasons that make air instability dangerous are ..
