The province is located at the contact of the Aures and Tell:
north of the province, there are the southern slopes of the Tell.
in the center, high plain, the altitude varies from 700 meters to 900 meters and dotted with small isolated mountain ranges that rise above like the Jebel Sidi Rgheiss (1635 meters), Jebel Rherour (1273 meters, Jebel Amama 1337 meters), these form part of the Aures.

climate
The province of Oum el-Bouaghi is located in a corridor between the Tell Atlas to the north, the Saharan Atlas whose Aures south. The wind factor is omnipresent sometimes violently (venturi effect). This is due to the near absence of shrublands.

The soft Mediterranean influences in winter and cooling in summer are adopted by the Tell mountain barrier, hot influences Sahara blocked by the Saharan Atlas and Aures massif in winter. That is why the harsh winters. However, summer is governed by atmospheric stability caused by the rise in tropical high pressure from the Sahara. Continentality also helps maintain hot and dry weather.

Rainfall is irregular rains from disturbances from the north-west or Mediterranean depressions, they stumble on the links Tellian north. In contact with the mountain, the air mass rises and dries: this creates a foehn effect on the province D'Oum el Bouaghi he fall over while 350-400 mm / year rainfall. This is one of the wettest in July across Algeria with an average of 9 mm of precipitation for that month in Oum el Bouaghi and 19 mm Meskiana regions.

The climate is semiarid Syrian continental; Winters are cold with sometimes significant snowfall, summers are hot and dry because of the distance from the sea with a particularity, thunderstorms can form through cold drops in altitude or storm overflows from Aures barometric swamp, they are accompanied by hail and heavy local rainfall and short that can occur in a violent manner even in July and early August, making it a local feature for all Algeria is subject to summer aridity continues .

Accordingly, the summers are too hot and dry and winters are too cold; Here the vegetation is not favorable for growth conditions, is drought-tolerant ground cover (adapted to aridity), the tree is absent, only the steppe plants are adapting well. In contrast, wheat and barley can be done without irrigation on these vast high plains.
