A deep air depression accompanied by rain and snow covers a large area of the central Mediterranean.

Arab Weather - The latest satellite images from the Arab Weather Regional Center show a deep low pressure system that has separated from the general jet stream circulation and is surrounded by strong high pressure systems. The system covers a wide area of the countries bordering the central Mediterranean, including southern Europe and North Africa, and is surrounded by large amounts of dense clouds.

Rainy and stormy weather with snowfall in parts of southern Europe

This weather system results in heavy rainfall in large quantities in southern Europe, resulting in the formation of torrents and floods, especially in Greece. Due to the severe cooling associated with the air mass accompanying the low pressure system, heavy snow falls on many European highlands, including the highlands of Italy and the Balkan countries, in addition to the high mountainous areas. The snow accumulates and impedes movement.

Strong winds accompany the low pressure system and the sea is very rough.

Due to the deepening of the depression in its center, it is accompanied by strong winds blowing in the Mediterranean Sea, with gusts reaching speeds of about 80 km/h. Waves are very turbulent at sea, with waves reaching heights of about 3 meters, especially off the eastern Libyan coast. It is advised not to approach the coast due to the severe turbulence of the waves.

The effects of the stormy air depression include Libya

The effects of the low-pressure system in northern Libya include strong winds, cloud cover, heavy rainfall, sometimes accompanied by thunderstorms, and hail of varying sizes, which increases the risk of flash floods, the overflow of valleys and ravines, and flooding in low-lying areas.

And God knows best.
