The worst floods appeared in Aqaba, Jordan – flooded city is a subject of many videos on Youtube.
Large hails hit Beirut, Lebanon, after a short time again /https://mkweather.com/2020/12/10/beirut-with-ice-flood-the-strongest-hailstorm-in-more-than-50-years//.
Southern Turkey and Cyprus have reported a mix of several severe weather events.
Shortly until the Christmas and during the Christmas 2020, Mediterranean will be calmer, without major storms or medicanes, but immediately after Christmas, since 26. December 2020, next rounds of severe storms are expected in parts of Mediterranean.
The worst situation is expected in northern and western Mediterranean including northern Portugal, northern Spain, Andalusia, northern Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, SE France, Italy, Adriatic, Greece and western Turkey.
