WASM- WASM Regional Center is monitoring successive atmospheric disturbances beginning at the end of May and continuing through the first half of June in an unseasonable manner, affecting a wide range of the Arabian Peninsula, Jordan, Eastern Mediterranean basin countries, Iraq, and Egypt, resulting from the surge of a humid tropical wave into the Arabian Peninsula coinciding with the approach of a colder and more humid air mass from central and eastern Europe.
Cooler than usual temperatures at the end of the week..
Cold temperatures cooler than usual are expected to affect Jordan, the Eastern Mediterranean region, northern Saudi Arabia, and parts of Iraq during the end of this week, with temperatures below seasonal averages by around 8 degrees Celsius, which necessitate wearing warm spring clothing in the morning hours, where temperatures in the capital Amman drop at night to only around 10 degrees Celsius.
Scattered thunderstorm showers in various areas of the Arabian Peninsula..
Some areas of central and southwestern Saudi Arabia are currently experiencing thunderstorm showers as a result of the beginning of the impact of the hot and humid air mass, which is expected to intensify at the end of May and expand specifically towards northwestern Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the Levant region, and Jordan.
Unseasonable weather conditions..
The weather condition is considered "unseasonable" and as a result of a deviation of the humid seasonal winds into the Arabian Peninsula, which normally surge towards a wide range of India, referred to as "oscillation of seasonal winds in the Arabian Sea region," where intense atmospheric pressure drop in the southeastern Arabian Peninsula and its rise in parts of southwestern Asia causes these winds to deviate towards the Arabian Peninsula.
Unseasonable conditions are expected to recur this summer..
Rarely occurring, the unseasonable rainy weather conditions are expected to recur this summer over a wide range of the Arabian Peninsula, the Levant region, Jordan, Egypt, and Iraq, which are expected to cause rainfall in many of those areas.
A significant rise in temperatures in the western Arabian Sea region has caused disruption to seasonal wind movements, and rarely occurring strong summer rainy conditions continue to recur annually in the Arabian Peninsula, where this climate change occurred 5 years ago and is expected to extend and intensify towards a wide range of northern Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, the Levant region, and Egypt this summer.
Summer rainy conditions will become "routine" during the coming years over a wide range of the Arabian Peninsula, the Levant, Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan due to climate change, and these changes have resulted in a significant increase in rainfall rates in the region in an unprecedented manner in the history of modern climate records.
Early weather alert: unseasonable and regional weather fluctuations bring rain and temperature variations at the end of May
