Egypt | The heat wave is intensifying Thursday and Friday, and attention is turning to Cairo, which is facing temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. Details

Arabia Weather - The latest computer simulation outputs at the Arab Regional Weather Center, especially those showing the movement of air masses, indicate that an extremely hot air mass with a fiery center will be placed over the Republic of Egypt, including Cairo, Thursday and Friday, so that the heat wave will intensify in the country’s atmosphere, amid expectations of record temperatures. It touches the mid-40s in some northern regions.

A warning about the intensification of the heat wave in Egypt on Thursday and Friday, with the extremely hot air mass centered over the country

In detail, weather forecasters at the Arab Weather Center said that a very hot air mass will cast a shadow over Egypt’s atmosphere on Thursday and Friday, causing an increase in air heating processes near the Earth’s surface, which will lead to the heat wave reaching its peak, and thus temperatures will continue to rise further, to be higher than their average for such conditions. The time of the year is about 7-9 degrees Celsius, and the weather is very hot in various regions of the Republic, and the heat increases as we head south, so that the weather is hot in those areas, and the winds are northerly to northwesterly moderate, accompanied by active gusts that stir up sand and cause a decrease in horizontal visibility. Especially in the governorates of Upper Egypt.

Computer modeling: 45 degrees Celsius in the north. Will it reach 50 degrees in the southern regions?

Computer modeling senses a temperature recording ranging from 42-44 degrees Celsius in various regions of Egypt at the peak of the heat wave, including northern Lower Egypt and neighborhoods of Greater Cairo, God willing. The southern regions, especially Aswan and its environs, and the border regions are exposed to scorching air currents with record temperatures. It may reach the threshold of 50 degrees Celsius, as these areas are expected to record temperatures ranging between 47-48 degrees Celsius.

Arabia weather specialists: The heat dome this time is also the main trigger of the heat wave

The specialists at the Arab Weather Center said that the Republic of Egypt is affected by a very hot air mass resulting from the increasing influence of a huge air pressure in the upper layers of the atmosphere, which fuels the heat dome phenomenon again (which is a climate phenomenon that results from an area of high air pressure in the high layers of the atmosphere that works to heat the air. In the lower layers of the atmosphere, due to a dynamic process called (heating under pressure), whereby the air in a certain area is compressed under the influence of an air ridge in the higher layers of the atmosphere, a hot, surface air mass is created, the intensity of which varies according to the region and the intensity of the air ridge, and also according to the period of its formation during the year.

and God is superior and knows best.
