Northern Algeria is bracing for a spell of severe weather, characterized by a significant drop in temperatures and icy conditions. An active weather system, laden with rain and snow, is currently impacting the region, leading to a noticeable decrease in temperatures since the beginning of the week. This unsettled weather pattern is expected to persist until Thursday.
According to weather models, rainfall will continue to affect central and eastern parts of the country until Thursday morning. The intensity of the weather system is predicted to remain strong throughout Wednesday. Expect cloudy and rainy conditions, accompanied by snowfall in areas above 900 meters in altitude. This includes the highlands of Jijel, Bejaia, Tizi Ouzou, Mila, Setif, Bouira, Oum El Bouaghi, and Batna.
DZWatch meteorologists indicate a gradual improvement in weather conditions across western and central regions on Thursday and Friday. However, eastern areas are likely to remain under the influence of rain, clouds, and cold temperatures.
Temperatures are expected to remain very low. Minimum temperatures are forecast to range between -3 and 0 degrees Celsius across inland areas during the night and early morning. Maximum temperatures are predicted to range between 5 and 15 degrees Celsius during the afternoon across northern provinces.
Mariners are advised to exercise caution. Sea conditions will be rough to very rough due to the weather disturbance, with strong winds exceeding 60 km/h. This poses a potential hazard to maritime navigation.
