A very cold polar air mass will affect several countries in the eastern Mediterranean, accompanied by very low temperatures, starting from February 20, 2025.

Arab Weather - Computer simulation systems at the Arab Weather Center continue to indicate the accumulation of extremely cold polar winds over the eastern European region, reaching Turkey, starting from Saturday, February 22, 2025, resulting from the occurrence of what is called the splitting of the polar vortex. The computer data shows the impact of the eastern Mediterranean region, especially the Levant, Iraq and northern Saudi Arabia, in addition to the consequences of this extremely cold air mass reaching Egypt.

Very cold weather is expected starting from Saturday, February 20, in several areas in the eastern Mediterranean, with very low temperatures.

God willing, the eastern Mediterranean basin is expected to be affected by this extremely cold air mass starting Saturday, with its effects set to deepen and increase at the beginning of next week and continue until at least the middle of the week. This air mass is characterized by the extreme cold it carries at various levels of the atmosphere, especially those close to the Earth's surface.

God willing, it is expected that the weather will be very cold, especially in the Levant, Iraq and northern Saudi Arabia, and the temperatures will be very low and below zero degrees Celsius, especially at night. It can be said that it is the coldest since the beginning of this winter, at least.

The same air mass is expected to cause active to strong winds, with severe cold and dry conditions in northern Egypt, the Levant, Iraq, and northern Saudi Arabia, which will lead to the raising of very dense dust waves and may reach the level of sandstorms, which will lead to a sharp decrease in horizontal visibility, God willing.

The air mass requires preparation and taking the necessary precautions in advance.

The expected air mass, due to the extreme cold it carries, requires taking the necessary and prior precautions, especially for farmers and livestock breeders. The expected cold weather also requires wearing warmer clothes, with an increase in demand for energy and social media, God willing.

And God knows best.
