Arabia Weather - Weather forecasters at the Arab Regional Weather Center said that the latest outputs received from the so-called computer simulation indicate an intensification of the upper air pressure over Kuwait and Iraq during the remainder of the current week and the beginning of next week, causing the heat dome phenomenon to intensify and the heat wave to intensify, which is accompanied by higher temperatures. It may exceed 50 degrees Celsius in inland and desert areas, which may put it at the top of the list of the world's hottest cities on Earth.

 

Arabian weather specialists: Most attention is on Umm Al-Qasr, Basra, and Al-Jahra, especially early next week

 

For their part, specialists at the Arabia Weather Center said that the advanced computer maps that were developed internally make most attention turn to Al-Jahra in Kuwait, Umm Al-Qasr and Basra in southern Iraq, as these areas are expected to record temperatures that may reach 51-52 degrees Celsius, exceeding half a boiling degree. The water is in a normal state, which may make these areas the hottest in the world, especially at the beginning of next week.

 

This comes as a result of a climate phenomenon resulting from an area of high air pressure in the high layers of the atmosphere that heats the air in the lower layers of the atmosphere due to a dynamic process called (heating under pressure), whereby with the compression of the air in a certain area under the influence of high pressure in the high layers of the atmosphere, it arises. A hot, surface air mass whose intensity varies according to the region and the intensity of the air high, and also according to the period of its formation during the year.

 

God knows.
