The Arab Maghreb | A heat wave is knocking on the doors in the coming days, but the mountains will be cold. How so?

Arabia Weather - Experts at the Regional Arab Weather Center said that the outputs of computer numerical models indicate that a hot, dry air mass will rush from the African Sahara towards the Maghreb during the remainder of April, and this hot air mass will rise to what is known as a heat wave, but the mountains will be cold despite the heat wave. .

In detail, the countries of the Maghreb, especially Tunisia and Algeria, will be affected in the coming days by a heat wave with temperatures rising to become much higher than their averages for this time of the year, and the weather will be hot to very hot in all regions with maximum temperatures approaching the end of 40 degrees Celsius in Many regions of Algeria, especially the desert ones, while the capitals and coastal areas are far from the direct effects of this wave, as the weather will be moderate, with highs ranging between 26-30 degrees Celsius in the capitals of the Maghreb and coastal areas.

In contrast to the rest of the regions, the mountains will be cold!

In contrast to the climate in most regions of the Maghreb, the high mountain ranges are expected to remain far from the effects of the heat wave, as these areas remain under relatively cold conditions during the day and cold at night, but temperatures are not expected to be as they were in the past, as the maximum during the day ranges between 15 -17 degrees Celsius, and the lowest at dawn is 7-9 degrees Celsius.

What are the scientific reasons behind the expected heat wave?

Scientifically, the reason behind the occurrence of the heat wave in the Maghreb is due to the rush of an air mass with much colder temperatures towards northwestern Europe and the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. This situation leads to the accumulation of hot air across the Maghreb countries.
