<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><strong>Arab Weather -</strong> According to the latest weather map readings received by the Weather Operations Department at the Arab Weather Regional Center, a blazing center of a very hot air mass is located over Iraq, accompanied by the intensification of the high pressure system in the upper layers of the atmosphere, which fuels the phenomenon of the heat dome. As a result, temperatures are expected to rise significantly from Monday to Thursday, recording high levels in southern Iraq and desert areas.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Temperatures around 50 degrees Celsius in the south.</strong></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In detail, God willing, and according to the latest outputs of the developed computer simulation, it is expected that temperatures will rise significantly to be higher than their average for this time of year by about 7-9 degrees Celsius. The weather will be very hot, with maximum temperatures touching 50 degrees Celsius on several days this week in the desert and southern regions of Iraq, especially the city of Basra and its surroundings, due to the location of the blazing center above those areas in particular. Winds will be variable in direction to southwesterly, light to moderate in speed.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B7%D9%82%D8%B3-%D9%84%D...

Temperatures will initially range between 45-48 degrees Celsius most days of the coming week amid very hot weather.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>A clear rise in night temperatures</strong></h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> With the increase in solar heating and the Earth&#39;s surface storing large amounts of thermal energy, a clear rise in night (minimum) temperatures is expected, with the lowest temperature during the day reaching 30 degrees Celsius, which is recorded shortly after sunrise. Thus, the weather during the night hours will be relatively hot in the northern regions, while it will be hot in the rest of the regions, including the capital Baghdad, and will be very hot in the southern regions, especially during the first part of the night.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> God knows best<br /></p>

O God, have mercy on a thousand tents.. Extremely cold weather tonight in Gaza with intermittent rainRare snowfall in western Iraq, chances of snow continuing in these areas in the coming hoursCold polar winds affect Gaza, dropping night temperatures to less than 5 degrees Celsius in some areasA cold wave caused by the rush of a very cold polar air mass will cover 13 Arab countries in the last week of February.A severe polar wave affects Iraq, causing temperatures to drop several degrees below zero Celsius and accompanied by snow in several areas.A state of atmospheric instability accompanied by heavy thunderstorms requires attention to the risk of floods in these areas.A very cold polar air mass will settle over the eastern Mediterranean next week (very cold weather and very low temperatures)A strong high pressure system is controlling western Europe and causing a huge polar air mass to rush towards eastern Europe.Preliminary details on the effects of a very cold and harsh polar air mass on Iraq in the last week of February 2025
