Important: Arab regions, including 3 capital cities, will be among the hottest places on Earth in the coming days.

Arab Weather - Advanced computer simulation outputs indicate that several regions of the Arab world will experience a strong heat wave in the coming days, especially during the period between the middle and end of this week.

Forecasts show temperatures rising to exceptional levels in a number of regions, where temperatures may reach and possibly exceed 50 degrees Celsius in some areas, as a result of the dominance of a very hot air mass.

Arab regions hit by a heat dome, raising temperatures to exceptional levels.

Parts of Iraq, Kuwait and the Arabian Peninsula are expected to be affected by this heat wave, with temperatures rising significantly in central and southern Iraq, including the governorates of Maysan and Basra and their surrounding areas, as well as the Samawah desert.

The effects also include the State of Kuwait, particularly the interior regions and the Al-Jahra area, along with the eastern parts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, reaching the interior and desert regions of the Sultanate of Oman and the United Arab Emirates, in addition to the heat wave including the State of Qatar, especially its interior parts.

Forecasts indicate that temperatures in these areas may approach the 50-degree Celsius mark, with indications that this threshold could be exceeded in some locations during the peak of the heat wave.

Arab capitals are likely to be among the hottest regions in the world.

In addition to the above, some Arab regions are expected to be included in the list of the hottest regions in the world in the coming days. The list may include Arab capitals such as the Iraqi capital Baghdad and the Kuwaiti capital Kuwait, and Abu Dhabi may also be included to record extremely high temperatures, as a result of a very hot air mass being concentrated over the region.

This is due to the growth of what is known as the "heat dome," resulting from the concentration of a strong high-pressure system in the upper layers of the atmosphere, which causes air to descend towards the Earth's surface and become trapped within the layers close to it, leading to increased heating and higher temperatures within a physical dynamic process known as heating under pressure.

And God knows best.
