Arab Weather - Large areas of the Arab world are experiencing heat waves during this period, caused by the growing influence of heat domes. These weather systems trap hot air and prevent it from dissipating, leading to a gradual accumulation of heat in the surface and middle layers of the atmosphere.

This heat dome is currently centered over Iraq, Kuwait, and the eastern region of Saudi Arabia, as well as parts of the Maghreb countries such as Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco, where extremely hot and exhausting conditions prevail during the day.

Additional rises and extension of heat waves are expected in the last third of the month.

Medium- and long-term weather forecasts indicate that the region may experience more intense and widespread heat waves during the last third of July 2025, particularly across the Arabian Peninsula. Temperatures in both Iraq and Kuwait are expected to rise, approaching or even exceeding 50 degrees Celsius on some days, meaning extremely scorching and exhausting conditions, as the upper air pressure system deepens and the heat mass almost completely dominates the region.

Weather models also indicate the development of a strong heat dome over the Maghreb countries, which could lead to a widespread heat wave affecting several cities in Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco, with temperatures rising significantly to exceed 45 degrees Celsius in some inland areas.

And God knows best.
