Important | Direct effects of the heat dome on the Gulf countries and Iraq, and 52 degrees Celsius are expected in some areas
Arab Weather - The latest outputs of our computer simulation systems in the "Arab Regional Weather Center" related to weather systems and temperatures indicate the entry of large parts of the Arabian Peninsula under the influence of what is known as the heat dome , which results from the concentration of an air elevation in the upper atmosphere to the north of the peninsula. The Arabian Peninsula, which works to trap heat near the surface of the earth and prevent its rise towards the upper layers of the atmosphere.
It is expected that a number of countries in the region will be affected by the heat dome and its effects, which are represented by a significant rise in temperatures, including Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the State of Kuwait, if initial expectations indicate the possibility of recording record temperatures that may touch the 52 degrees Celsius barrier in some regions.
