A majestic scene... the lowest atmospheric pressure recorded in the eastern Mediterranean this season

A majestic scene is now being shown by satellite images in the eastern Mediterranean basin, where data indicates that the atmospheric pressure value at the center of the deep low-pressure system, with a path closest to the Khamsin depressions, has reached about 995 millibars, thus becoming the deepest low-pressure system recorded this season in the eastern Mediterranean basin.

This low-pressure system originated yesterday over Egyptian airspace before intensifying significantly as it moved into the Mediterranean Sea. It caused sandstorms across parts of Egypt and Palestine, as well as strong winds affecting some areas of Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Lebanon. Additionally, it resulted in a significant increase in wave height along the coasts of countries bordering the eastern Mediterranean basin.

Given the relatively distant path of this low-pressure system from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, its direct impact on Jordan will be in the form of atmospheric instability, accompanied by showers of rain that may sometimes be heavy in some areas.

It should be noted that if a low-pressure system of this depth had followed a purely maritime path over the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, it could have developed into a different and more intense type of storm, given the large temperature difference between the sea surface and the accompanying air mass.
