During solar heating of the Earth’s surface, a thermal low is formed above its surface, which leads to the hot air being lifted upwards through ascending air currents. The upper high reverses the ascending hot currents, so they bounce back downwards, which causes the hot air to remain trapped in the lower layers, and thus the temperature rises significantly in a phenomenon known as the heat dome.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Important recommendations during the influence of the hot mass</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Arab Weather warns of this significant and tremendous rise in temperatures, which could increase the possibility of sunstroke and heat stress, so we advise everyone to follow the following instructions:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Avoid direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Drink plenty of water to hydrate the body and compensate for fluid loss.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Do not leave children inside vehicles as this poses a danger to their lives.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Do not leave explosive materials inside vehicles such as portable chargers, mobile phones, perfumes, and air fresheners.</li></ul>
