Arab Weather - All regions of the Levant have been affected for several days by an extremely cold air mass of polar origin, where very cold weather prevailed with very low temperatures, and cloudy weather prevailed most of the time with rain falling in many areas, which was in the form of snow showers over the mountain peaks in Syria, Lebanon, and the highlands of northern and southern Jordan, in addition to several areas of northern Iraq, with great activity in wind speeds that doubled the feeling of coldness.

Saturday/Sunday night will be very cold with temperatures dropping below zero degrees Celsius in many parts of the region.

During this night, Saturday/Sunday night, the amount of clouds decreases further, and the cold weather at night reaches its peak. According to the specialists at the Arab Weather Center, temperatures will drop further to be around zero degrees Celsius in several parts of the Levant, Iraq, northern Saudi Arabia, and the Sinai highlands in northwestern Egypt during the late night hours, dropping below zero, especially in the Levant desert and the high mountain peaks.

With the appropriate weather conditions and the harsh cold weather resulting from the drop in temperatures to around zero degrees Celsius, frost forms and freezes in places where water pools are located in many large areas of the Levant, Iraq and northern Saudi Arabia. Frost formation and freezing begin early in the night hours, i.e. Saturday/Sunday night, and intensifies and expands with time, continuing until the late hours of Sunday morning, especially in the desert, on high mountainous elevations, and in the eastern plains areas.

God knows best.
