Cold upper air masses are rushing towards the European continent. What impact will they have on the weather in the Levant?

Arab Weather - Forecasters at the Arab Weather Regional Center are monitoring the latest outputs from numerical computer models simulating the movement of air masses and weather systems in the Northern Hemisphere, particularly across Europe and the Levant. The shape of the weather systems is striking, causing severe weather disturbances and heavy rains in Europe, coupled with cooler breezes, especially at night in the Levant.

Cold upper basins over the European continent and heavy rain waves in the coming days

Meteorologists at the Arab Weather Center reported that the European continent, especially its central and southern regions, is exposed to cold upper air systems for this time of year. This may be an indication of a gradual change in the weather systems and their acquisition of an autumnal character, as cold upper troughs frequently rush towards the European continent, coinciding with air currents with high surface heating that merge with cold and humid upper air, which produces sometimes heavy rain waves in several European countries, including the Balkan countries and Turkey, accompanied by hail, flooding, and rising water levels.

The cold upper basins lose their coolness when they reach the eastern Mediterranean and affect Jordan and the Levant in the form of cooler breezes.

These cold upper basins reach the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea, but they lose their coldness as they pass through a vast geographical area. Their effects on Jordan and the Levant are in the form of sea breezes, which cause warm weather during the day and temperatures within the average range. The effects of the cooler breezes are evident during the night hours, when the weather is pleasant and humid, gradually becoming cooler.

Upper air systems coming from Eastern Europe are also shifting the upper subtropical high eastward, which will, thank God, reduce the region's chances of experiencing heat waves in the coming period.

And God knows best.
