The heat dome affects the Mediterranean Sea. What are the effects?

Arab Weather - The Mediterranean region is witnessing strong effects of the heat dome, as this weather phenomenon has led to a rise in sea surface temperatures. Which have reached levels exceeding normal rates, which increases the possibility of more severe weather phenomena during the coming fall, especially in Europe and the countries overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

Increase in evaporation rates and air humidity

Experts at the Arab Weather Center said that with the rise in sea surface temperatures, evaporation rates increase significantly, leading to higher humidity levels in the atmosphere. This increase may affect weather patterns in the region, increasing the likelihood of thunderstorms and strong storms forming during the coming fall.

Changing weather patterns and continued heat waves

The heat dome may also cause significant changes in weather patterns in the Mediterranean. The high atmospheric pressure associated with this phenomenon reduces wind movement and hinders the passage of cold weather systems. As a result, heat waves are expected to last longer than usual in North African countries and the European continent.

Effects on marine life

Rising water temperatures pose a direct threat to marine life in the Mediterranean. Sensitive marine organisms such as coral reefs and fish that depend on specific temperatures could be significantly affected, putting them at risk of extinction or migration from the area.

Increased risk of rainstorms and weather disturbances

According to Arab Weather experts, the rise in sea water temperature is likely to increase the chances of rainstorms forming, which increases atmospheric instability in the region.

Arab Weather will continue to monitor the effects of the heat dome on the Mediterranean Sea and provide continuous updates on this phenomenon.

God knows best.
