Meteorological Authority Explains Heat Dome Effect
Egypt is preparing for an intense heatwave that is nearing its peak, with temperatures in Cairo expected to reach between 39 and 40 degrees Celsius. The apparent temperatures are expected to rise to 42 and 43 degrees due to high humidity, which increases the sensation of heat and doubles the feeling of heat exhaustion. These hot conditions are expected to continue until mid-next week, with warnings issued to citizens to take protective measures, especially during peak hours. The Meteorological Authority explained that the term "thermal dome" is used in the media to describe an atmospheric high-pressure system in the upper layers of the atmosphere that traps hot air. This phenomenon is responsible for prolonging periods of extreme heat and has become more frequent in recent years, leading to record-breaking heat waves and necessitating preparedness to face them.
