Low pressure in the western Mediterranean, including the effects of the Maghreb, with snow falling over the mountains

Arab Weather - The latest outputs from the computer simulation systems of the Arab Weather Regional Center show that a very cold air mass is rushing into the western Mediterranean, resulting in the formation of a low-pressure system centered south of Italy in the coming days. This low-pressure system is accompanied by dense bands of cumulonimbus clouds laden with heavy rain, with strong winds reaching 80 km/h, leading to severe turbulence in the sea waves.

The depression will deepen in the coming days and affect southern Europe

The depression is expected to deepen over the coming days over large areas of Europe, accompanied by heavy rains and strong thunderstorms, with heavy hail, which increases the possibility of flooding. Wind speeds are expected to reach 80 km/h, leading to severe turbulence at sea with waves ranging from 3 to 5 meters high, especially in the depths.

The effects of the depression include 3 Arab countries

The effects of the low pressure system include Tunisia, Algeria and northern Morocco, accompanied by active winds and heavy rain showers, especially in coastal and mountainous areas, with clear disturbance in sea waves. Hail is also expected, which increases the possibility of flash floods, and snow falls on mountain heights that exceed 1200 meters above sea level.

The forecasting staff at the Arab Weather Center reported that this low pressure system resulted from the rush of a cold air mass from the European continent towards the Ionian Sea. The thermal differences between the cold air and the sea surface temperature led to the formation of this low pressure system, without it acquiring any semi-tropical characteristics.

God knows best.
