Arab Weather - Experts at the Arab Weather Regional Center said that the significant rise in temperatures witnessed in recent days in Palestine and the region, including the Gaza Strip, is merely an early prelude and the first signs of what is expected to be a long and hot summer across the region, a common occurrence during the summer season.

According to data from meteorological stations, temperatures in the Gaza Strip have reached 40 degrees Celsius over the past few days. This is a clear indicator of the nature of the upcoming summer season, especially with the ongoing "heat dome" phenomenon, which traps hot air masses near the Earth's surface.

Harsh humanitarian conditions worsen as the heat intensifies

With rising temperatures and the approach of summer, this could pose a major humanitarian challenge for the residents of the Gaza Strip, especially given the near-total lack of basic necessities such as electricity and water. Thousands of families also rely on plastic tents that are inhospitable to the high temperatures and lack even the most basic ventilation or protection.

We ask God to have mercy on them and help them.
