Arab Weather - The Arabian Peninsula, specifically Iraq and Kuwait, is affected by a strong heat wave resulting from the growth of what is called a heat dome, which leads to heating the air in the lower layers of the atmosphere due to a dynamic process called (heating under pressure), where, with the compression of air in a specific area under the influence of a high-pressure system in the upper layers of the atmosphere, a hot surface air mass is created, the intensity of which varies according to the region and the intensity of the high-pressure system, and also according to the period of its formation during the year.

A heat wave continues in Iraq and Kuwait, with temperatures likely to exceed 50 degrees Celsius in some areas.

The weather will be scorching in Baghdad and across Iraq, with maximum temperatures ranging between 48 and 50 degrees Celsius in most areas, including northern Iraq and the capital, Baghdad, while they will reach 50 and 53 degrees Celsius in the southern desert regions, including Basra and Maysan.

As for Kuwait, God willing, and according to advanced numerical modeling by Arab Weather, maximum temperatures during the heat wave are expected to reach 50 degrees Celsius and possibly higher in many parts of the country, especially at the beginning of the week, particularly in the desert and interior regions, particularly Jahra and its surrounding areas.

Temperatures will reach 50 degrees Celsius in northeastern Saudi Arabia in the coming days.

God willing, the heat wave is expected to extend to northeastern Saudi Arabia, with temperatures reaching 50 degrees Celsius in those areas, particularly in the northeastern region, specifically Nuayriyah and Hafar Al-Batin. Extremely hot weather will prevail across various regions during this heat wave, which is expected to continue for several days next week.

The UAE's interior regions, such as Al Ain, and the interior and desert regions of Oman, will not be immune to the high temperatures this week, with some days reaching the high 40s Celsius during the afternoon and evening hours.

And God knows best.
