Will the Gaza Strip be affected by the heat wave expected at the end of the week?

Arab Weather - The latest weather updates indicate that the eastern Mediterranean region will be affected by a heat wave starting this weekend, resulting from the expansion of an extremely hot air mass coming from the Arabian Peninsula, encompassing large areas of the Levant, Egypt, Iraq, and Kuwait.

Despite this widespread impact, the Gaza Strip will not be directly affected by this heat wave due to its coastal location overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, which mitigates the impact of the heat wave on recorded temperatures.

Maximum temperatures in the Gaza Strip are expected to remain in the early thirties Celsius, but high humidity will make the perceived temperature much higher than the recorded temperature, potentially reaching 37 degrees Celsius. This will increase the feeling of heat stress, especially during the afternoon and evening hours.

May God help our brothers in Gaza.
