The Arab World | The Gulf states and Iraq are unusually absent from the list of the world's hottest regions for the second day in a row!

Arab Weather - In an unusual weather scene for this time of year, Gulf cities and Iraq were absent for the second day in a row from the list of the world's hottest regions. This is despite the fact that they usually top the list during July and August due to the desert environment and intense solar radiation.

This notable absence is attributed to the Gulf region and Iraq being affected by a cooler-than-usual upper trough, which has contributed to a relative drop in temperatures compared to normal rates for this time of year. These "relatively cooler" conditions are expected to continue for a few days before temperatures rise again with the return of the subtropical high pressure system.

According to meteorological data over the past 24 hours, the Pakistani city of Chilas topped the list of the world's hottest cities, recording 48.4 degrees Celsius, followed by several cities in Pakistan and Iran. Meanwhile, Tindouf, Algeria, was the only Arab city to appear on the list, with a temperature of 46.4 degrees Celsius.
