The thermal dome creates a regional heat wave that affects 7 Arab countries, starting from the end of this week

Weather of Arabia - The latest weather maps, resulting from the so-called computer simulation, indicate that a hot air mass is expected to rush to the north of the Arabian Peninsula and be reinforced by an intensification of the air elevation in the upper layers of the atmosphere, which leads to a noticeable rise in temperatures and their extremes from their normal rates. With more than 5 degrees Celsius in many Arab countries, by the end of this week.

The effect of the heat wave includes 7 Arab countries

And the weather maps show that the hot mass is expected to affect all of the Levant, Egypt, Iraq and northern Saudi Arabia, starting from the end of this week, and with it the weather will turn hot in those countries, and even very hot in the Iraqi territories, where temperatures are close to 50 degrees Celsius in the capital, Baghdad.

And this expected noticeable rise in temperatures comes; As a result of the effect of what is known as the thermal dome, which is caused by the concentration of the seasonal Arabian high on the north of the Arabian Peninsula.

Where this atmospheric elevation in the upper layers of the atmosphere causes the air below it to fall, so the heat resulting from the daytime heating cannot rise to the top and prevents the heat from returning to the atmosphere, so it remains trapped in the lower layers within the framework of this thermal dome.
