A new low pressure system in the Mediterranean Sea is bringing heavy rain and hail. Will its repercussions extend to the Levant?

Arab Weather - The latest weather maps indicate a new low pressure system will form in the Mediterranean Sea midweek. Its direct impact is expected to be concentrated on southern Europe, specifically Greece and the Balkan countries, bringing with it unstable and stormy weather conditions.

Heavy rains and thunderstorms accompany the low pressure system in the central Mediterranean and southern Europe.

The low pressure system will be laden with heavy rain clouds, God willing, leading to extremely heavy rainfall across large areas of the central Mediterranean and southern Europe, particularly Greece and the Balkan countries. Strong winds will also be expected, along with a significant drop in temperatures, resulting in cold weather prevailing across these regions.

Flood risks are increasing in the Balkans due to waterlogging.

Forecasts indicate that the risk of flooding will be doubled, given the soil's waterlogging following the recent rainstorm that hit the region, which led to a rise in the levels of rivers and streams. Snowfall is also likely to occur in the high mountainous areas of the Balkans, especially as the cold air mass accompanying the depression deepens.

Will the effects of the low pressure system extend to the eastern Mediterranean?

Initial indications suggest it may later move northeast to settle over the Black Sea, directly impacting Turkey. Its effects are also likely to extend to the Levant on Wednesday and Thursday as an extension of a low-pressure system, bringing rainfall to western Syria and various parts of Lebanon.

In Jordan and Palestine, the effects in terms of rainfall are not yet clear, but the most prominent and agreed-upon effect is a significant drop in temperatures, resulting in pleasant autumnal weather during the day and relatively cool weather at night.

And God knows best.
