Algiers, Algeria – Significant weather changes are anticipated across northern Algeria starting Sunday, with the arrival of an active weather disturbance bringing cold polar air, heavy rainfall, and substantial snowfall.

A gradual shift in weather conditions is forecast to begin on Sunday, transitioning from partly cloudy to overcast with the entry of a low-pressure system. Scattered rainfall is expected across northern areas.
The cold snap and worsening weather conditions are predicted to intensify from Monday morning as the cold air mass associated with the low-pressure system moves in. This will lead to a noticeable drop in temperatures.
