Is climate change delaying the decline in temperatures in the Gulf countries?
Arab Weather - Meteorologist Salah Al-Ansari in Kuwait told the media that September is the beginning of autumn in many regions, but the drop in temperatures in the Gulf region and the Arabian Peninsula is delayed until the end of the month, or extends to October.
Al Ansari pointed out that this delay is considered additional evidence of global climate change, which has led to a rise in temperatures worldwide, including the Gulf region. He added that these changes lead to an increase in the severity of heat waves and a lengthening of their duration, and pointed out that according to data from meteorological stations, average temperatures have risen by 1.6 degrees Celsius over the past 40 years, as the average was previously 45 degrees Celsius, and is now 46.6 degrees.

Climate change and global warming
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing the world today, with most countries experiencing a significant rise in temperatures due to increased emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, which trap heat in the atmosphere. This change has contributed to an increase in the frequency of heat waves, which have become more severe and frequent, especially in urban areas. In addition, this phenomenon leads to other climate disturbances, such as rising sea levels, melting glaciers, and changing rainfall patterns, which threaten global ecosystems and economies.
