Weather of Arabia - The latest weather maps, resulting from the so-called computer simulation, indicate expectations of an intensification of the extremely hot air mass over the Arab Gulf countries, reinforced by the air rise in the upper layers of the atmosphere, which leads to a noticeable rise in temperatures and exceeding the 50-degree mark.

 

Iraq tops the highest temperatures in the world during the coming days

And it is expected, God willing, that temperatures will continue to rise in many Iraqi cities and provinces, touching the 52-degree Celsius threshold on Tuesday and Wednesday in the central and southeastern regions, including Basra, and touching 50-degree Celsius in the capital, Baghdad.

Thus, the weather will be very hot in the northern and western regions, and blazing in the central and southern regions, especially with the noon and afternoon hours, at which time the solar heating reaches its peak.

 

Kuwait and Saudi Arabia under the weight of the heat dome

And with the increasing effect of the thermal dome on the east of the Arabian Peninsula, it is expected that the rise in temperatures will be noticeable in Kuwait and eastern Saudi Arabia, so that on Tuesday and Wednesday temperatures exceed the 50 degrees Celsius barrier in some areas, including Al-Ahsa, Al-Qaisumiya, and Mudon. Several from the Sharkia governorate.

Also, temperatures rise in the eastern and southern regions of Riyadh administratively, including the capital, and reach the end of the forties Celsius.

 

And this expected noticeable rise in temperatures comes; As a result of the effect of what is known as the heat dome, which is caused by the concentration of the seasonal Arabian high on the north of the Arabian Peninsula, where this air elevation in the upper layers of the atmosphere causes the air below it to fall, so the heat resulting from the daytime heating cannot rise to the top and prevents the heat from returning in The atmosphere remains trapped in the lower layers within the framework of this thermal dome.

 

God knows.
