Arab Weather - Frost, one of the hydrometeorological phenomena.
Frost is considered one of the hydro-meteors, which indicates a drop in temperature to or below freezing.
Or when water vapor turns directly into small snow needles, and in order for this type of frost to occur, the surface on which ice crystals are deposited must be cooler than the ocean temperature.
Because cold air is denser than hot air, in an atmosphere dominated by static winds, cold air gathers on the surface and here the temperature inversion occurs, and this explains the occurrence of frost on the surface.
Frost is a water-meteorological phenomenon that threatens agricultural production , and there is no specific date for the occurrence of frost, and the severity of frost varies from year to year.
Frost is defined as the low temperature near the surface of the earth and at a height between 5 cm and a height of 2 meters to below zero degrees Celsius, whether or not ice crystals are formed and adversely affect crops and lead to their damage.
