WASM - The Kingdom is expected to be affected by a low-pressure system centered around the Cyprus basin starting from Tuesday and continuing until Thursday, but on and off, accompanied by rain at intervals, cold weather, and occasionally strong winds. These rains will be heavy at times.
In detail, a warm air front is expected to push into the Kingdom tomorrow, Sunday, accompanied by moderate to high cloud amounts and rising temperatures. The warm front is the precursor to winter low-pressure systems and is part of these weather depressions.
Weather will be cold on Monday and mostly cloudy with light rain showers falling in scattered areas across the Kingdom.
The Kingdom will be affected by the low-pressure system on Tuesday and Wednesday in the form of a noticeable temperature drop and rain falling at scattered intervals, particularly in the north and center of the Kingdom and the eastern desert, with these rains being thundery and heavy at times.
Weather will remain cold on Thursday and cloudy and foggy with scattered rain showers, and weather will stabilize toward the end of the week temporarily with rising temperatures.
WASM is issuing an orange alert level for weather conditions during the impact of the low-pressure system, particularly in the north of the Kingdom and parts of its center. Caution should be taken regarding low-lying areas and valleys and places where water accumulates due to the danger of flash floods.
The scientific reason for the low-pressure system is due to the flow and surge of cold and moist winds from the east of the European continent toward the eastern Mediterranean, due to the splitting of the jet stream. Atmospheric pressure is expected to rise rapidly and suddenly over a wide range of Europe later after mid-month, causing a polar wave to surge.
Polar wave after mid-month..
Atmospheric pressure is expected to rise suddenly and rapidly over a wide range of the European continent, particularly its southern and central parts, around mid-month, which will cause extremely cold polar winds to surge toward the southeastern parts of it, Turkey, and the eastern Mediterranean.
The polar wave is expected to affect the Kingdom after mid-month and during the end of the month with heavy precipitation and extremely cold conditions. All details will be issued progressively.
Rumors of rainfall drought and warm wave..
The WASM Regional Center has received many messages about a warm and stable prolonged wave lasting until the end of the month. The WASM Regional Center denies these incorrect rumors based on unscientific grounds and spread through the media, as continued rainy conditions are expected, which will take on a character of heavy rainfall and extreme cold after mid-month.
This type of rumor has been spreading since the beginning of the rainy season, which also spread during the previous rainy season. The Kingdom is expected to remain far from rainfall drought waves during this season, and the season is expected to be a strong and cold rainy season, with expectations for continued heavy rain cases until late in this season in an unusual manner.
