It affects 8 Arab countries.. Increasing indicators of the first Khamasini depression for this year impose sharp fluctuations in the weather early next week

Weather of Arabia - The outputs of analyzes and computer simulation data of weather forecasts indicate expectations of the formation of a five-year depression in the Sahara, and it takes a path inland from the Libyan lands to the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea. Temperatures followed by cold air masses.

The Khamsini depression will affect 8 Arab countries

It is expected that the first five-year depression of this year will affect many Arab countries, namely: Libya, Egypt, Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, starting from Saturday and during the next few days, God willing, so that it is expected that Saturday noon will be centered over Libyan lands to see a rise in degrees The heat is in many areas, and the weather is warm and dry with active westerly to southwesterly winds that raise dust and sand, especially in the western and southern regions.

As for Sunday 06-03-2022, the Khamasini depression will move towards the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea, to be concentrated to the north of Egypt, and work on the activity of the southwest winds in the regions of Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine, as well as the case in northern Saudi Arabia, as there is a rise in temperatures and prevailing conditions The weather is five-year-old, and the weather is warm, dry and dusty in many areas, and amounts of clouds appear at different altitudes, which are expected to be associated with rain showers in random areas.

The Khamasini air depression moves westward on Monday to center over Iraqi lands, to decrease wind speed in all regions of the Levant and Egypt, and there is a significant decrease in temperatures, and at the same time, temperatures rise in large parts of eastern and central Saudi Arabia and southern and eastern Iraq, and the winds activate and raise dust and dust. in some areas.

Why are the pentagonal depressions formed at this time of the year?

The Khamsiniyah depressions are known as thermal depressions that usually form in the spring in the northern part of the continent of Africa (in the Sahara), and move parallel to the coast of the Mediterranean towards the eastern basin of the Mediterranean and the Levant region. Thermal depression is defined as a depression resulting from the intense heating of the Earth’s surface, which results in a decrease in the density of the air above it, so it rises up and the pressure decreases, and the air begins to gather from areas of high pressure towards areas of low pressure, and an upward movement is formed that is in a narrow vertical space.

The five-year depressions are formed in the Sahara and North Africa in this period of the year (the spring period) as a result of the decrease in atmospheric pressure due to the high temperature there compared to the temperature of the Mediterranean water, which becomes cold after the winter season. These depressions push the surface winds laden with dust from the Sahara desert towards the east.

The Khamasin depressions are usually accompanied by the Khamasin winds, which are mostly southwesterly winds, which are dry and warm and come from the Sahara Desert, loaded with tons of dust and raised dust, and move quickly towards areas of the eastern Mediterranean, such as Egypt, the Levant, Iraq, and the Arabian Peninsula region. Temperatures and dusty conditions will reduce visibility.
