To date, at a high rate of temperatures, and this matter is attributed after the will of God to the eruption of moderate air masses in the north of the African continent, working to displace the warm mass in front of it, and because the upper basins are running from west to east in a counterclockwise rotational movement, hot air rushes from the west To the east, which contributes to the push of hot air masses from the African desert towards the eastern Mediterranean, including Egypt, and thus a rise in temperatures in the atmospheric layers close to the surface of the earth.
