The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has expected that the northwestern regions of the country will be affected by a relatively hot air mass that raises the temperature during the day, reaching between (30-35°C), but expected to decline this evening at coastal areas due to sea breeze. The effect of the hot mass will be greater tomorrow, Tuesday, and will be marked on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (heat wave) and temperature could record between (37-42°C).
The NCM expected in its daily bulletin that maximum temperature would be at its monthly rates in the eastern regions and would witness an increase at the end of the week.
