Arab regions, including two capitals, are expected to be the hottest on Earth in the coming days.

Arab Weather - The latest weather analyses indicate that large parts of the Arab region will increasingly be affected in the coming days by what is known as a heat dome. This is an extension of an extremely hot air mass located in the various layers of the atmosphere, centered over areas of Iraq, Kuwait, and eastern Saudi Arabia.

The scorching center of the air mass is expected to center over Iraq, leading to a significant rise in temperatures. There are serious concerns that temperatures could exceed 50 degrees Celsius in the capital, Baghdad, making it one of the hottest places in the world early this week.

This impact is not limited to Iraq alone, but also extends to Kuwait, particularly in inland areas such as Jahra and the vicinity of Kuwait International Airport, where temperatures are expected to approach or even exceed 50 degrees Celsius.

The eastern parts of Saudi Arabia are also expected to be affected by this extremely hot mass, with temperatures likely to approach 50°C in some inland areas.

It is important to be aware of the risks of direct and prolonged exposure to the sun during midday and peak hours, and it is recommended to take heat stress prevention measures, especially in populated areas.
