Jordan: Will the heat dome affect the Kingdom and cause the first heat wave soon?

Arab Weather - Weather experts at the Arab Weather Regional Center said that the heat dome phenomenon intensifies during the summer and hits several countries in the world, causing scorching heat waves. The heat dome is an atmospheric phenomenon that occurs when high atmospheric pressure gathers over a certain area, which leads to the trapping of hot air in the lower layers of the atmosphere, resulting in a significant rise in temperatures. This phenomenon may continue for several days, leading to severe heat waves.

Will the heat dome affect Jordan and the Levant in the coming period?

The effects of the heat dome have recently receded from the atmosphere of Jordan and the Levant, thanks to the prevailing weather patterns in the Northern Hemisphere. The latest outputs from numerical models, which simulate the movement of air masses and weather systems in the Northern Hemisphere, indicate that the weather patterns are noticeably different, resulting from the flow of upper-level troughs with cooler temperatures across Europe towards the eastern Mediterranean basin.

The upper-level weather systems coming from Eastern Europe are shifting the upper subtropical high towards the east, which has caused the heat waves and the heat dome to move away from the Levant and Jordan, thanks be to God, and thus temperatures are not expected to be far from the normal range.

Will the heat dome return to Jordan in the near future and cause heat waves?

Weather experts at the Arab Weather Center said that current weather patterns do not indicate the formation of a heat dome over the Kingdom in the near future, as forecasts indicate that temperatures will remain within normal averages, and perhaps even lower.

And God knows best.
