Why is Kuwait so hot?
The high temperature in Kuwait is due to the thermal dome effect and global warming.
On July 5, Kuwait City ushered in an unprecedented and terrifying high temperature, with the temperature touching 53.5°C. At that time, people used thermometers to measure under the sun, and the value actually reached 72°C. The reason for the extreme temperatures in the Middle East is the thermal dome effect, that is, air masses located in the middle and upper levels cover the ground like a dome, causing heat to accumulate without being able to dissipate.
Considering that this effect will continue and that the highest local temperatures usually occur at the end of July, I am afraid that the Middle East will have to endure such high temperatures for a long time.
In addition to the thermal dome effect, global warming is also an important culprit. There are also many extreme hot weather events around the world. For example, the temperature in Canada's Lipton region hit 49.5°C, single-handedly breaking the high temperature records for areas above 50° north latitude on Earth many times. The rare high temperature also led to 719 sudden deaths in Canada within 7 days. In Morocco, a country in northwest Africa, the temperature also reached 45°C. Even Antarctica, the coldest place on earth, has recorded the highest temperature in history - 18.3°C.
Kuwait’s high temperature weather is expected to reach a new high by the end of July
A few days ago, the highest temperature in the sun in Kuwait City once reached 73°C, once again setting a new global high temperature record, and even the car casings on the streets were Everything was roasted, and the streets of the capital were deserted.
Because Kuwait is located in the northwest of the Persian Gulf, the area has a tropical desert climate, with only 108 mm of rainfall throughout the year. According to the forecast analysis of meteorological experts, the high temperature weather in Kuwait has not yet reached its peak, and is expected to reach a new high by the end of July.
