Snowstorms and negative temperatures in several areas of Europe in the coming period. How will they affect the eastern Mediterranean?

Arab Weather - Weather maps specializing in monitoring the movements of weather systems indicate that the polar jet stream will sway over the North Atlantic Ocean and northern Europe during the coming period, as very cold polar air masses (polar vortex) rush directly towards those areas, causing the formation of very deep air depressions with low air pressure values, which means great activity in Atlantic storms.

Heavy Atlantic storm activity and snowstorms in northern and western Europe including the UK

In detail, weather maps show that the polar vortex is at its peak during this period and the coming period, causing huge and very cold polar air masses to rush towards the North Atlantic. Due to the sharp temperature differences between the polar air masses and the surface temperature of the water, atmospheric pressure values collapse and deep Atlantic storms form, moving from the North Atlantic towards northern and western Europe during the coming period, including the Scandinavian countries and the United Kingdom.

This exposes these areas to successive snowstorms, and a very cold winter weather prevails with heavy snowfall and accumulation that hinders aspects of public life and affects the movement of roads and railways in these areas. Deep storms also result in strong winds that lead to severe disturbance of the waves on the northern and western shores of Europe, which affects the movement of ships and steamers in seaports.

Monitoring the rush of a polar air mass towards central and southern Europe at the beginning of next week

Weather experts at the Arab Weather Center said that weather systems may change at the end of this week and the beginning of next week, as the huge Azores high pressure system expands towards the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, causing the polar jet stream to break and deepen further towards central and southern Europe, as indicators show the rush of a very cold polar air mass towards the aforementioned regions, including France, Italy and all neighboring countries, accompanied by strong winds, heavy snowfall and heavy rain in areas below sea level, with temperatures dropping to several degrees below zero Celsius.

On the other hand, the countries of the eastern Mediterranean basin and the Arabian Peninsula remain far from the air depressions, and the pattern of blocking that dominates the region continues, represented by the concentration of a strong air high over the region. We ask God for rain.

And God knows best.
