Algiers records a record high of 49°C

Weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf - Today, Sunday 7-23-2023 AD, the city of Algeria recorded record and unusual temperatures, reaching 49 degrees Celsius at Houari Boumediene International Airport.

The regions of northern Africa, including Algeria, are affected by this large and sharp rise in temperature as a result of the increasing effect of the thermal dome on the region, which is represented by the concentration of an air elevation in the upper layers of the atmosphere, which works in the form of a blanket that stores hot air in the lower layers of the atmosphere near the surface of the earth, which greatly raises the temperature.

It is expected that the country will continue to be affected by hot weather during the coming days, which necessitates attention from the dangers of direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight, especially in the noon and afternoon hours, due to the high chances of heat stress and heatstroke.
