The clash between cold and warm air masses heralds increased temperature fluctuations in the coming weeks (details)

Arab Weather - The autumn transitional period is characterized by frequent weather and temperature fluctuations that are clearly and tangibly present in two close time periods. We can delve into the details of the situation further to clarify the reason for the frequent weather fluctuations during this period.

The clash between cold and warm air masses heralds increased temperature fluctuations in the coming weeks.

Beginning with the onset of autumn, the focus of the sun's rays shifts southward, and the intensity of solar heating over the Arabian Peninsula gradually decreases. As a result, the seasonal thermal low begins to fill (atmospheric pressure rises at its center). Similar to the slow dissipation of the thermal low, with hot air masses remaining present but less intense than before, the Red Sea low begins to expand, accompanied by warmer and hotter air currents.

The expansion of the Red Sea depression and the presence of remnants of hot air masses in the Arabian Peninsula coincide with the beginning of a change in weather patterns in the European continent. Cold air masses begin to flow towards the eastern parts of the continent, losing a large part of their coldness upon reaching the Mediterranean waters. As a result, they affect the countries of the eastern basin in the form of mostly moderate air masses. This depends on the coldness of the air mass arriving towards the waters, so it cannot be guaranteed that it will always be moderate.

This is where the conflict between air masses coming from eastern Europe and those coming from the Arabian Peninsula or the Red Sea begins. This results in markedly increased temperature fluctuations, and the risk of contracting seasonal illnesses such as colds and seasonal influenza increases.

And God knows best.
