Arab Weather - While the eastern Mediterranean basin and the Arabian Peninsula are witnessing stable weather in the absence of air depressions, the Maghreb countries are exposed to a deep air depression accompanied by large amounts of rain and heavy snowfall over the high mountain heights, which led to the closure of roads due to the large thickness of the snow cover, which is expected to increase this Saturday, God willing.

 

Scenes of heavy snow in the Maghreb region, specifically Algeria

Some areas of the Maghreb have recently witnessed wonderful scenes of snow, as snow covered many mountainous heights in Algeria and Tunisia, where the mountainous heights were exposed to heavy snowfall, which led to the closure of some roads due to snow accumulation and a noticeable drop in temperatures.

 

 

The distribution of weather systems is represented by a low pressure system over the Maghreb and stable weather in the Levant.

The weather systems in the Arab world during the coming days are represented by a cold air mass rushing towards the western Mediterranean, and the control of a strong high pressure system in all layers of the atmosphere over the eastern Mediterranean and the Arabian Peninsula, which imposes stability on the atmosphere until the end of this week with a rise in temperatures to levels in the twenties.

 

Morocco and Algeria are affected by an extremely cold air mass, with temperatures dropping below zero degrees Celsius over the mountains and heavy rains falling over large areas of northern Algeria extending towards different parts of Tunisia and northern Morocco. This is accompanied by significant activity in wind speeds, and snow falls over the Algerian highlands during the influence of the cold air mass.

 

And God knows best.
