<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arabia Weather - The Arabia Weather Center monitored recording temperatures in the fifties in several parts of the Arabian Peninsula during the past days, as a result of the region being affected by an intense heat wave resulting from the positioning of the air high in the high air layers in the northern regions of the Arabian Gulf basin, coinciding with a deepening of the thermal depressions. Which led to temperatures rising several degrees higher than normal.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Arab countries recorded the highest temperatures this summer so far</strong></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Specialists at the Arabia Weather Center indicated that official data issued by meteorology in Kuwait, Iraq, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia showed that many cities recorded temperatures in the fifties, the highest being in Jahra, exceeding 52 degrees Celsius, followed by Basra, Kuwait City, Dammam, and Al-Ahsa, at about 51 degrees Celsius.
