A heat dome ignites the summer heat in Arab countries... 50 degrees Celsius expected in these countries.

Arab Weather - As we approach mid-June, high-pressure systems are beginning to intensify across the Arabian Peninsula and tropical and subtropical regions, with the sun heating the Earth's surface more. This heralds the start of astronomical summer in the Northern Hemisphere, which begins on June 21.

Indeed, the latest weather forecasts indicate that the high pressure system will intensify over the Arabian Peninsula and Iraq, and that a heat dome will develop, which is typically associated with hot, windless weather and high temperatures in the regions it affects.

Fifty-degree temperatures are expected in Arab countries in the coming days.

As the heat dome intensifies across the Arabian Peninsula, temperatures are expected to reach 50 degrees Celsius in some areas of southern Iraq and may exceed 50 degrees Celsius in Basra Governorate. Meanwhile, temperatures are expected to approach 50 degrees Celsius in parts of southern Kuwait and eastern Saudi Arabia over the weekend and early next week.

What is meant by the heat dome responsible for severe heat waves around the world?

A heat dome is a weather phenomenon that occurs when hot air is trapped in a specific area due to the presence of a strong, stable high pressure system in the upper atmosphere, causing abnormally high temperatures that persist for days or even weeks.

Under normal conditions, hot air rises and cools. However, in the case of a heat dome, the upper atmosphere prevents the hot air from rising, so it remains trapped near the Earth's surface. As a result, heat accumulates, the atmosphere becomes drier, and temperatures become much higher than normal.
