Will Storm Ciaran directly affect the Maghreb countries? ..Arab Weather answers

Arabia Weather - The latest outputs of the computer simulation systems developed by Arabia Weather, related to the movement and monitoring of weather systems, indicate that the low-pressure atmospheric system will move remarkably towards the east from the Atlantic Ocean during the next 48 hours, centering on Thursday to the west of Britain, at a time when it was launched. Some local authorities in Europe have named the storm Ciaran, which is expected to bring heavy rains and strong winds to Western European countries.

Will Storm Ciaran affect Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia?

The answer is yes, but indirectly. Despite the severe pressure drop in the center of the storm, which is expected to reach a pressure of 950 millibars, the center’s distance from the north of the African continent and the Maghreb countries makes it located on the outskirts of the weather system, or what is known as the Ciaran storm.

It is expected that the coastal parts of Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, specifically the coastal parts of them, will be affected by a significant increase in wind speed, from Thursday evening until the beginning of next week, and it is not unlikely that scattered showers of rain will fall on the northern parts of Morocco and Algeria, while they may be heavier. There will be severe weather in northern Tunisia on Friday/Saturday night, and ArabiaWeather will issue more reports on developments in the coming days.
