Weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf - The official spokesman for the National Center of Meteorology in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, A. Hassan Al-Qahtani said that the Qaisumah region in the east of the Kingdom recorded the highest temperature today at 50 degrees Celsius, while Dammam and Al-Ahsa recorded temperatures slightly lower than that, reaching 48 degrees Celsius.
Regarding the forecasts for tomorrow, Friday, the latest weather forecasts issued by the Arab Regional Weather Center indicate an increase in the influence of the Arab air high, coinciding with the control of the heat dome over the region’s atmosphere, as the extreme rise in temperatures leads to the formation of a thermal air depression on the surface.

This atmospheric system, in turn, will raise the hot air upward through the rising air currents, and the upper elevation reflects the hot rising currents and bounces them back down, which causes the hot air to remain trapped in the lower layers, and thus the temperature rises significantly in a phenomenon known as a heat dome.

As a result, temperatures in the eastern region rise significantly, especially Hafar Al-Batin and Al-Ahsa, reaching very high levels, which may exceed 50 degrees Celsius, and we are monitoring in Arabia Weather the possibility of the temperature in the vicinity of Nairyah reaching 52 degrees Celsius.
