Weather of Arabia - The results of the analysis of the latest weather maps showed that the Kingdom will be gradually affected, starting from Saturday 8/27/2022, by a hot air mass coming from the desert of the Arabian Peninsula that dominates over the Levant, including the Kingdom, and its impact increases and deepens on Sundays and Mondays, causing a stressful heat wave, Amid indications of the continuation of hot weather, varying in intensity from day to day until early September.

At night, it is expected that temperatures will rise compared to the current nights, so that the weather will turn to become generally pleasant to moderate in various regions, with the appearance of some low clouds in the north of the Kingdom, and the winds will be northwesterly moderate in speed.

A heat wave begins on Saturday to affect the Kingdom and intensifies on Sunday

In the details, a hot air mass is expected to gradually rush from the desert of the Arabian Peninsula towards the Levant, including the Kingdom, which will lead to a significant rise in temperatures on Saturday, to become 4-6 degrees Celsius higher than their usual rates for this time of year. The weather is expected to turn hot and dry in general in most areas, and very hot in the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea, Gulf of Aqaba and Badia regions.

The scientific reason for the expected heat wave in the Kingdom

It is expected that a heat wave will control the Kingdom’s atmosphere, resulting in a rise in atmospheric pressure in the Arctic Dome, to break the jet streams, become more active and push cold air more than normal towards subtropical regions, similar to opening the refrigerator door, and this is known as negative fluctuation The Arctic (Negative phase of AO), as a result of the distribution of weather systems in the northern half of the Atlantic Ocean, the air rise in the British Isles will direct the path of cold air and push the moderate air masses south towards the central Mediterranean, and this is known as the negative North Ocean Oscillation The Atlantic (Negative phase of NAO), which leads to the intensification of the subtropical atmospheric height and its attraction to the north of the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant, accompanied by a hot air mass.

A "heat wave" is defined as a continuous and continuous rise in temperatures away from their normal rates by 4-6 degrees Celsius for a period of more than 72 hours (three days), and these criteria apply to the Kingdom starting next Saturday, God willing.
