The thermal dome this time over Jordan!
Weather of Arabia - The Levant, including Jordan, will be affected, starting from next Saturday and for several days, by the phenomenon of the heat dome, which is caused by the concentration of the seasonal Arab high above the region, and this is supported by a thermal depression on the surface coming from the east and accompanied by very hot air masses, these elements The weather will prevail hot weather for many days in the Kingdom.
What is the heat dome phenomenon?
- It is the phenomenon of pushing hot air to be close to the surface of the earth, which prevents the return of heat in the atmosphere, so it remains trapped in the lower layers within the framework of this thermal dome.
- It leads to an increase in the periods of sunshine and an increase in temperature and humidity together.
And the control of this thermal dome over the region comes to the distribution of air systems in the northern hemisphere, where it is expected that the upper depressions associated with the cooler air will flow towards central Europe and reach the center of the Mediterranean Sea, and this necessarily leads to an intensification of the upper air elevation above Northern Arabia and the Levant.
Significant changes in the atmosphere with the dome of heat over Jordan
- Significant rise in temperatures, starting from Saturday, to become more than 8 degrees Celsius higher than usual rates for this time of the year.
- The weather turns hot in all regions of the Kingdom, and it is even very hot for some time in the noon and afternoon hours, when temperatures exceed 40 degrees Celsius in some cities, including the neighborhoods of the capital, Amman.
- The weather is very hot most of the day in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba, and temperatures in some of those areas exceed the mid-forties.
- It is also expected that there will be a significant rise in temperatures compared to the current nights, and relatively hot weather will prevail during the night, with temperatures much higher than what is usual at night.
