Arab Weather - The latest outputs of numerical models at the "Arab Weather" Center indicate that a hot air mass is approaching the Kingdom starting from the middle of this week and continuing until the end of the week, causing temperatures to rise in various regions of the Kingdom and to vary from one region to another.

Weather forecasters at the Arab Weather Center said that current indicators show that the hot air mass is coming across the Arabian Peninsula, and weather maps specializing in the movement of air masses show that the hot mass will be moving across the southeastern part of the Kingdom towards the western regions, so it is expected that the eastern and southeastern regions of the Kingdom will be under the direct influence of the hot air mass.

According to weather data issued on Sunday evening, several areas in the eastern part of the Kingdom are expected to be under the direct influence of the hot mass due to their location and proximity to the center of the hot mass, as temperatures are expected to rise significantly to exceed 40 degrees Celsius in the middle and end of this week in Ruwaished, Safawi, Azraq and the border areas with Iraq, in addition to several areas of the southern Badia and the southeast of the Kingdom in general, while reaching the end of the 30s.

Experts at "Arab Weather" said that the path of the hot air mass and its depth towards the Kingdom imposes temperature differences between the east and west of the Kingdom, as the difference is expected to reach 10 degrees Celsius between the west and east of the Kingdom. As an example, temperatures are expected to record 32 degrees Celsius in the Dabouq area west of the capital Amman on Wednesday, while the expected maximum in the Ruwaished area on the same day is 42 degrees Celsius.
