European continent A new heat wave affects large areas of the continent and coincides with unstable weather conditions and thunderstorms

Arabia Weather - Climate change continues to cause heat waves on the European continent, as weather forecasters at the Arabia Weather Center said that the latest computer simulation readings indicate that the European continent will be affected by a heat wave that will include large countries in the coming days. Temperatures may reach forty levels in European regions in There was a very hot summer climate.

A heat wave hits the European continent and temperatures reach the forty levels, especially in the Scandinavian countries.

Meteorologists at the Arabia Weather Center said that large countries of the European continent in the coming period will be facing an exhausting heat wave, especially in the southeast of the European continent, resulting from the rush of a hot air mass from the African Sahara. This heat wave will bring an extremely stressful and hot atmosphere, as, according to the processed weather maps, the weather forecast staff at the Arab Regional Weather Center is monitoring the heat wave extending from Sunday and continuing throughout the days of this week. These include the Scandinavian countries and Turkey, where maximum temperatures may reach nearly 40 degrees Celsius, and may exceed that in some areas, in light of the extremely hot atmosphere that dominates the atmosphere of the European continent.

As for the rest of the southern countries of the continent, it is expected to be affected by the hot air mass starting Tuesday, which includes Italy, France, and Portugal, amid generally hot weather, with temperatures expected to reach the mid-thirties Celsius in the capital, Madrid, and some low-lying areas.

What is the cause of the expected heat wave and is it accompanied by thunderstorms?

The scientific reason behind the occurrence of this heat wave is the presence of a depression and a cold air mass over the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, which is moving towards the northwest of the European continent. This atmospheric system works to push a very hot air mass from North Africa towards Europe, and the hot air mass on the surface is accompanied by the crossing of an upper wave or upper depression in the upper layers of the atmosphere.

The crossing of the upper wave causes the emergence of unstable weather conditions over large countries of the European continent, where the activity of cumulonimbus clouds continues, accompanied by thundershowers of rain, accompanied by hailstones, which may cause the formation of torrents and the occurrence of floods, especially over Poland and Belarus, in addition to some areas. Scandinavian countries.

God knows.
