Egypt: Indications of a Khamasini depression that will bring hot and dusty weather to the Republic early next week

Arab Weather - Numerical models, through the Badr system developed by Arab Weather , indicate that Egypt will be affected early next week by a five-year depression that will form on Friday over the Great Desert, and it will move, God willing, to the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea, passing through the Libyan lands, and is expected to affect Egypt. Next Sunday will be hot, dusty and dry.

It is accompanied by hot and dusty weather in many areas

A deep pentagonal depression centered in the north of the country on Sunday

In the details, the country is affected by a five-year depression, which is expected to be centered on Sunday afternoon to the north of Egypt, so that there is a sharp rise in temperatures so that they become much higher than the usual rates, and five-year weather conditions prevail, so that the weather is hot, dry and dusty in most areas, and even It is very hot in southern Upper Egypt, and amounts of high and medium clouds appear at intervals, accompanied by rain showers in some limited areas.

It is expected, God willing, that the impact of the Khamasinyi depression will be evident during the night hours, in the form of a remarkably warm atmosphere.

Why are the pentagrams depressions formed at this time of the year?

The Khamsiniyah depressions are known as thermal depressions that usually form in the spring in the northern part of the continent of Africa (in the Sahara), and move parallel to the coast of the Mediterranean towards the eastern basin of the Mediterranean and the Levant region. Thermal depression is defined as a depression resulting from the intense heating of the Earth’s surface, which results in a decrease in the density of the air above it, so it rises up and the pressure decreases, and the air begins to gather from areas of high pressure towards areas of low pressure, and an upward movement is formed that is in a narrow vertical space.

The five-year depressions are formed in the Sahara and North Africa in this period of the year (the spring period) as a result of the decrease in atmospheric pressure due to the high temperature there compared to the temperature of the Mediterranean water, which becomes cold after the winter season. These depressions push the surface winds laden with dust from the Sahara desert towards the east.

The Khamasin depressions are usually accompanied by the Khamasin winds, which are mostly southwesterly winds, which are dry and warm and come from the Sahara Desert, loaded with tons of dust and raised dust, and move quickly towards areas of the eastern Mediterranean, such as Egypt, the Levant, Iraq, and the Arabian Peninsula region. Temperatures and dusty conditions will reduce visibility.
