An unusual low pressure system brings rare snow to the peaks of eastern Türkiye, about 700 km from Jordan.

Arab Weather - The Arab Weather Center's weather forecasting team monitors the passage of an upper-level low pressure system (LBO) across Turkey, which is considered late for this time of year. The low pressure system is accompanied by a cold, humid air mass, as a cold, rainy air front crosses northern Turkey, bringing heavy rains to several areas, sometimes accompanied by thunderstorms.

Rare snow showers are also falling over the peaks of Turkey's northeastern mountains, an unusual phenomenon for this time of year. Temperatures are also expected to drop significantly during the night hours in these areas, approaching winter levels, with temperatures possibly falling below 6 degrees Celsius on the mountain peaks, amid extremely cold conditions that are unusual for this time of year.

How will the effects of the weather system over Türkiye affect the Levant?

In this context, meteorologists at the Arab Weather Center confirmed that the low-pressure system is approximately 700 km away from Jordan. However, the system's effects on the Kingdom, the Levant, and the eastern Mediterranean will be in the form of brisk northwesterly winds with cooler temperatures, leading to a drop in temperatures in Jordan, Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon, as well as Iraq and Kuwait.

And God knows best.
