The Ministry of Agriculture has warned of the possibility of frost forming in several Syrian regions during the early morning and morning hours of tomorrow, Tuesday, urging farmers to take necessary precautionary measures to protect crops from potential damage.
The Ministry clarified in a statement on Monday that Syria is still affected by the edges of a cold polar air mass, leading to a drop in temperatures, especially during the night and early morning hours, coinciding with the activity of variable, cold, and dry northern winds.
Most Vulnerable Areas
The Ministry indicated that the chances of frost formation remain in some areas, but the spread of clouds during the night and Tuesday morning is likely to limit the probability of its occurrence. It noted that the areas most vulnerable to frost formation, in case of clear skies during the early morning hours, are concentrated in the countryside of Aleppo, Raqqa, and Al-Hasakah, especially their northern parts, as well as areas in Idlib, the Ghab Plain, the heights of the Coastal Mountains, Tadmur, and Qalamoun.
Weather Developments
Regarding weather developments in the coming days, the Ministry pointed out that the chances of frost formation were higher on Tuesday morning compared to Monday morning, due to the likelihood of cloud spread during the early morning hours of tomorrow, Tuesday. It indicated that temperatures are expected to rise on Wednesday morning, coinciding with the spread of clouds due to the country being affected by a weak state of atmospheric instability, which contributes to a decline in the chances of frost formation, with these chances completely disappearing on Thursday morning.
Syria was previously affected by a state of atmospheric disturbance that began on Thursday evening last week and continued until Saturday evening, accompanied by heavy thunderous rainfall and activity in surface wind speeds in several regions.
