Bahrain and the surrounding countries in the Arabian Peninsula are set to experience a heatwave, with temperatures approaching 50C, by the end of this week.
The Arabia Weather Centre has issued an alert, based on computer simulations, that the northern hemisphere will see changes in the distribution of weather systems, leading to surging temperatures in Europe and the Middle East.
“Large parts of the Arabian Peninsula will witness a rise in temperatures by the end of this week, as a result of the intensification of the high air pressure in the upper layers of the atmosphere and the deepening of the temperature depressions in the eastern front of a hot air mass rushing from the African desert to various parts of Europe,” researchers added.
