Weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf - the city of Al-Ahsa, is a Saudi city located in the east of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It often tops the list of the Kingdom's hottest cities in the summer, and sometimes the hottest cities in the world, and here the question arises about the reasons that make this small city a blazing point at the level of the Kingdom and the world?

 

This question was answered by Dr. Abdullah Al-Misnad, in his tweet via Twitter, enumerated the reasons and summarized them as follows:

 

  • Its relative distance from the marine water bodies that contribute to lowering the temperature, and therefore it is considered a dry desert region.
  • The dominance of the hot and dry northern winds in the summer, specifically the Al-Bawareh winds, which prevent the moderate marine influences from reaching Al-Ahsa, and this is a very important factor.
  • Al-Ahsa is a low-lying region, as its land surface is only 140 meters above the sea on average.
  • Its entry into the negative space due to the effect of the upper air elevation, which sometimes perches over most of the Arabian Gulf basin, including eastern Saudi Arabia, and causes severe heat waves during some days of the summer season.
  • It enters the area of the Rub al-Khali surface thermal depression, which causes dry and hot northern winds that prevail in the summer in the Al-Ahsa region, and the eastern region in general. This is roughly and abbreviated.. This and God knows best.
