Saudi Arabia | The Arab high pressure system is increasing and threatens to intensify the heat again.. Details

Arab Weather - Sinan Khalaf - The latest computer modeling results show that the impact of the Arab high pressure system will intensify on the region's atmosphere, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which will contribute to a significant rise in temperatures and make the weather hot and exhausting.

In detail, temperatures are expected to rise again in the eastern regions of the Kingdom, where they may approach the 48 degree Celsius barrier in Al-Ahsa and some internal parts of the Eastern Region such as Al-Qaisumah, the Empty Quarter and others during the second half of the week.

The heat will also intensify in large areas of central Saudi Arabia, including the capital Riyadh, where temperatures will gradually rise to reach the mid-forties Celsius, as well as in the Qassim region. Arab Weather will issue more details about the impact of the expected hot weather on the Kingdom in the coming days.

Arab Weather notes the necessity of adhering to the following instructions to prevent sunstroke and the risk of heat stress:

• Avoid direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight, especially during the afternoon and evening hours.
• Drink enough water to hydrate the body and compensate for the loss of fluids resulting from sweating.
• Do not leave children inside the vehicle due to the large and enormous heat storage inside vehicles.
