The meteorological authority revealed the phenomenon of thermal dome, leading to a prominent and continuous increase in temperatures in the coming days, as this phenomenon holds hot air near the ground, which exacerbates the warm atmosphere and increases the expansion of the heat wave.
Causes high temperatures
Menar Ghanem, a member of the Meteorological Authority’s media center, explained that the current temperatures are related to high air extension in the upper layers of the atmosphere known as the fraudulent dome.
The influence of the thermal dome
Ganam said: “This phenomenon prevents hot air, and keeps it locked on the ground, which leads to temperatures gradually and continuously, especially from the middle of the week to the end, because the temperature may exceed 40 ° C.”
What is the thermal dome?
In this context, the “News ROM” website, in the following lines, reviews the most important information about the thermal dome, how to prevent it, in addition to the complications it causes.
The thermal dome is defined as a high air pressure system that operates as a cover that holds hot air on Earth, and prevents cloud formation, enabling sunlight to reach the soil and increase temperatures.
The thermal dome is usually created in areas with dry soil and lack of vegetation, which creates conditions for continued this phenomenon for several days or weeks, causing severe free waves leading to land fires and dry crises.
It is worth noting that the jet stream, a strong wind strap in the upper layers of the atmosphere, as it weakens or breaks, can lead to blocking these air systems and the formation of the fraudulent dome.
The effects of the thermal dome and the history of the world phenomenon
World meteorological records indicate that thermal domes have caused large crises in different areas around the world. In 1995, a strong heat wave in the Middle Ages led to the deaths of about 600 people, and Europe was witnessed free free waves in 2003, and north -west of the quiet ocean was up to a free wave in 2021, showing the infrastructure in the face of intense heat.
Thermal domes especially affect the areas that are not equipped enough in the absence of air conditioning and cooling centers, increasing the risk of heat -related diseases, especially in weak groups.
Methods for preventing and reducing severe heat waves
The meteorological authority recommends providing free prevention comfort by creating cooling centers, encouraging the use of swimming pools, sitting in shade and beaches.
Authorities also recommend not exposing the sun at peak periods, and taking care of water in sufficient quantities to prevent dehydration, especially for children and elderly.
This phenomenon is expected to last a few days and perhaps weeks, which requires everyone to worry and care to deal with its effects.
