Arab Weather - The prevailing weather system in the northern hemisphere is still forcing the upper air masses to the south to penetrate directly over the Maghreb countries. The continuation of this weather system acts as a trap for hot air over these regions, forming what is known as a heat dome, which imposes scorching weather in some areas of the Maghreb countries.
