Weather of Arabia - specialists in the Arab Weather Center are closely following the developments of the extremely hot air mass and its behavior through special models to simulate the movements of air masses, as the wind directions and the way this hot mass stays over the Levant and Jordan at the beginning of next week may lead to reaching Unprecedented temperatures in some regions of the Kingdom, including the capital, Amman.

As the highest temperature previously recorded in the capital was 43.5 degrees Celsius, that was in July 2000 and in August 2010 this was the highest temperature recorded in the capital, Amman, according to data from the Jordan Meteorological Department, and next week we are on the cusp of this record.

 

 

The influence of the heat dome on the kingdom increased

With the control of the heat dome over the Kingdom and the rush of the extremely hot air mass from the desert of the Arabian Peninsula, this will lead to temperatures reaching very high values, as the heat dome pushes the hot air to be close to the surface of the earth, thus preventing the return of heat in the atmosphere, so it remains Trapped in the lower layers within the framework of this thermal dome, the periods of sunshine increase, and the temperature and humidity rise increasingly.

Which will lead to an extreme temperature of more than 10 degrees Celsius from its usual rates for this time of the year, and the weather will turn into very hot in all regions of the Kingdom, and even flaming in some areas of the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and Aqaba.

 

And the control of this thermal dome over the region comes to the distribution of air systems in the northern hemisphere, where it is expected that the upper depressions associated with the cooler air will flow towards central Europe and reach the center of the Mediterranean Sea, and this necessarily leads to an intensification of the upper air elevation above Northern Arabia and the Levant.

 

 

Forty temperatures in most regions of the Kingdom

 

With the deepening of the so-called flaming center of the extremely hot air mass over the Kingdom, this leads to a rise in temperatures to forty levels in most regions, where temperatures are between 41 and 43 degrees Celsius in many Jordanian villages and cities, including the capital, Amman. It also exceeds 45 degrees Celsius in the Jordan Valley, the Sea of the Dead and Aqaba, in addition to the Badia regions, and may approach 50 degrees Celsius in some areas of the Central Jordan Valley.

 

 

Chances of thunderstorms and dust in some areas

Despite this atmosphere, it is accompanied by chances of some thundershowers of rain with the evening hours of Sunday, especially in the south of the Kingdom, where it is not excluded with the hours of afternoon and Sunday evening that some thundershowers will fall in the Gulf of Aqaba, and the wind speed will be active with The possibility of dust waves.

 

God knows.
