Mediterranean | Officially… The Mediterranean sets a new record. Could this be the spark for an active autumn?

Arab Weather - According to the latest data issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the surface temperature of the Mediterranean Sea recorded a new record in temperatures, as the average sea surface temperature reached +28.15 degrees Celsius.

Weather forecasters at Arab Weather said that the continued rise in the temperature of the Mediterranean Sea may affect us in the coming fall and winter, as the rise in the temperature of the surface water will be an important factor in increasing evaporation rates, which may serve as fuel for the formation of more effective air depressions with the beginning of the rush of cold air from the north of the European continent.

Rising Mediterranean Sea temperatures increase the likelihood of Mediterranean storms

Experts at Arab Weather said that the rise in the surface temperature of the Mediterranean Sea is an important factor in stimulating the development of depressions and increasing their strength, as the continuation of the evaporation process will lead to an increase in humidity levels in all layers of the atmosphere, which is necessary to feed the cold air coming from Europe. In addition, the large temperature differences between the surface of the water and the cold air in the upper layers of the atmosphere are sufficient to cause high instability in the surface layers of the atmosphere, and form very low pressures, which is sufficient to form Mediterranean storms, as happened in Hurricane Daniel, which affected Libya last season.

What impact did this have on the Eastern Mediterranean and the Levant?

There is no doubt that the Mediterranean climate has a direct impact on the countries of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Levant, as this may increase the chances of instability in the fall, and deep depressions during the coming winter, which may result in heavy rainfall and the formation of floods in some areas, and God Almighty knows best.
