Gulf countries | Will the region witness previous records being broken during the heat wave?

Update | Thursday 11/7/2024 AD at 9:00 PM

Specialists at the Arabian Regional Weather Center are monitoring what computer modeling outputs indicate about the possibility of some countries in the region recording scorching temperatures tomorrow, Friday.

The temperature exceeds 50 degrees Celsius

Extremely hot weather in Hafr Al-Batin, Al-Nairyah, and Al-Ahsa in the coming days

In detail, it is expected that the latest weather forecasts issued by the “Arab Regional Weather Center” indicate an increase in the influence of the Arab air high, coinciding with the control of the heat dome over the region’s atmosphere, as the extreme rise in temperatures leads to the formation of a thermal air depression on the surface.

This atmospheric system, in turn, will raise the hot air upward through the rising air currents, and the upper elevation reflects the hot rising currents and bounces them back down, which causes the hot air to remain trapped in the lower layers, and thus the temperature rises significantly in a phenomenon known as a heat dome.

As a result, temperatures in the eastern region rise significantly, especially Hafar Al-Batin and Al-Ahsa, reaching very high levels, which may exceed 50 degrees Celsius, and we are monitoring in Arabia Weather the possibility of the temperature in the vicinity of Nairyah reaching 52 degrees Celsius.

ArabiaWeather notes the necessity of adhering to the following instructions to prevent sunstroke and the risk of heat exhaustion:

• Avoid direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight, especially in the afternoon and afternoon
• Drink sufficient amounts of water to hydrate the body and compensate for fluid deficiency resulting from sweating.
• Do not leave children inside the vehicle due to the large and massive thermal storage inside vehicles.
• Do not leave explosive materials inside vehicles, such as perfumes, batteries, etc.
