Will the effects of the heat wave in northern Arabia extend to Jordan?

Arab Weather - The Arabian Peninsula, specifically Iraq and Kuwait, is affected by a strong heat wave resulting from the growth of what is called a heat dome, which leads to heating the air in the lower layers of the atmosphere due to a dynamic process called (heating under pressure), where, with the compression of air in a specific area under the influence of a high-pressure system in the upper layers of the atmosphere, a hot surface air mass is created, the intensity of which varies according to the region and the intensity of the high-pressure system, and also according to the period of its formation during the year.

A heat dome causes a severe heat wave in Iraq and Kuwait.

The heat dome is causing a severe heat wave across the northern Arabian Peninsula, with maximum temperatures reaching around 50 degrees Celsius across large areas of Iraq, Kuwait, and parts of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Extremely hot conditions prevail as the day begins, and even scorching conditions occur during the afternoon and evening hours, with increased risk of sunstroke and heat exhaustion.

Will the effects of the heat wave affecting northern Arabia reach Jordan?

In this regard, meteorologists at the Arab Weather Center stated that the effects of the heat wave affecting the northern Arabian Peninsula will not reach Jordan. Rather, the prevailing weather patterns in the coming days will be characterized by a cooler air mass pushing toward eastern Europe, with its effects reaching the eastern Mediterranean basin. This, God willing, will lead to a drop in temperatures in the coming days.

The weather will be typical summer weather in the mountainous and western regions of the Kingdom, while it will remain hot in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, Aqaba, and parts of the Badia during the daytime. Maximum temperatures in the coming days will be in the early thirties Celsius in major cities, including the capital, Amman, while they will exceed the mid-thirties Celsius in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, Aqaba, and parts of the Badia.

Winds will be moderate northwesterly, active during the afternoon and evening hours, causing dust storms in desert and open areas. The weather will remain pleasant in most parts of the Kingdom during the night hours, especially in the high mountainous areas and plains.

And God knows best.
