Can anybody explain why we don't have rains in the Middle East in summer.?

Question

\though we have high humidity.

i live in Haifa region by the sea i doubt it's a desert region.

Answer 1

There is a belt of high pressure around the globe in each hemisphere called the sub-tropical ridge (STR). Air rising at the equator moves towards the poles and descends at the ridge. Descending air is dry as cloud can only form in rising air. All the worlds major deserts (apart from the polar deserts) are under the ridge in both hemispheres.

As the Sun apparently moves north and south with the seasons, so does the STR. During the winter, the STR is south of Haifa over the Sahara desert but in summer it moves north to be over the Middle East. With high pressure over you, the air is descending and cloud does not form. It can be very humid by the sea but unless the humid air can rise, it won't form cloud. Consequently you get dry summers.

Answer 2

Couple of natural events combine here:
1) the angle of the earth in respect to the sun's rays cause the equatorial / tropical areas to heat up in such a way that the monsoon winds that regularly visited the area 10000 years ago have pushed further south....The Sahara Savannah is now a large desert as is much of the Middle east....
2) the constant "uplifting between the Asian Plate and the Indian Plate have also disrupted the world air mass (along with the moisture that it routinely carries) flow adding to the current dryness of the area...........

Answer 3

The middle east is a desert region. A desert is a region that has dry weather most of the time. This region gets monsoons. These are seasonal winds that either bring dry or wet weather. So summertime is not monsoon season.

Shall yer phrase refers to the Middle Est of U.S.A, it would certaintly Out Of Order pledge about the specific controla of the matters, in which reggards to those others mi8ghtiers disqaulifire, miscalculayzion of such a gig, openly, unwise and,presumably, umadulteratared, would undifineableau the titanomic of anything, should anything bad happens to you, so would to anybody else besiseeds yerself,anyhowone way ot another. Just hold on there until Frye days.

Answer 5

Basically, the shifting of the monsoons leaves you high and dry during that season. For the mechanism of the monsoons, you should look them up.

Answer 6

I think the location has high atmospheric pressure during summer.

Answer 7

You dont get rain in summer because it is all over here in the U.K. Y ou want rain just come here, you will be heartily sick of rain when you get home.

Answer 8

In such situations, I always assume that it has something to do with the weather.
