<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Weather of Arabia - The Kingdom was affected today, Wednesday, by active easterly winds, which increased the feeling of coldness and raised dust, especially in desert areas, as a result of the concentration of an air high to the east that pushed southeasterly winds towards the Kingdom.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><br /><br /></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>But, what are the scientific reasons behind the formation of eastern winds and their blowing over the Kingdom? We remind her of these points</strong></h3><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><br /></h3><ul style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>First,</strong> an air high is positioned to the east of the Kingdom, with an air low on the western side, and because the direction of the winds in the air high moves clockwise, easterly winds blow over the Kingdom, because the winds move from high air pressure to low air pressure, and thus blow over the Kingdom in the form of easterly winds. Its effect is in the form of increasing the feeling of cold.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Secondly</strong> , the extension of the Siberian high. As we mentioned, the air in the high air rotates clockwise in the northern part of the Earth. When the Siberian high air extends towards the region from the northeast in the winter, the air blows over the Kingdom from the high air in the form of dry easterly winds, causing... Very cold weather during the night and even during the day.</li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></li><li style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Thirdly,</strong> the extension of thermal air depressions, such as the Red Sea depression. When the Red Sea depression extends from the south, it causes easterly/southeastly winds to blow towards the Kingdom, causing a rise in temperatures and the dominance of a hotter atmosphere than what is usual during the daytime hours, and the same applies during the night hours.</li></ul>
