Iraq | After its absence... the 50th centenary returns to the country (details and recommendations)

Arab Weather - Specialists in the weather operations department at the Arab Weather Center said that the latest outputs of the so-called computer simulation indicate that southern Iraq will be affected by the heat dome phenomenon during the current week, which will cause temperatures to rise, which may exceed 50 degrees Celsius in the south at the end of the week, and be below this value in Baghdad amid very hot summer weather.

Computer modeling: Air mass flames will be more pronounced at the end of the week, and Basra will exceed 50 degrees Celsius.

The numerical computer models at the Arab Weather Center sense that a blazing center of the very hot air mass will be centered over southern Iraq, causing a clear increase in the severity of the heat on Thursday and Friday, as temperatures will rise further to exceed what they are supposed to be. The most appropriate description of the weather at that time is that it will be blazing in the south of the country and very hot in Baghdad and the rest of Iraq, where maximum temperatures will be between 46-48 degrees Celsius in the capital, Baghdad, while they will reach the threshold of 50-51 degrees Celsius in the southern and desert regions, including the city of Basra.

Hot nights await Iraq.

God willing, night temperatures are expected to rise, especially at the end of the week, so that the weather will be hot and gloomy during the night hours in various regions of Iraq, and the minimum temperatures (the lowest temperature during the day) will be at very high levels, reaching approximately 33-34 degrees Celsius, which are values recorded during the peak of the day in the capitals of the Levant sometimes.

Recommendations from Arabia Weather:

- Avoid prolonged and direct exposure to sunlight.
- Drink sufficient amounts of fluids and moisturizers constantly.
- Do not leave compressed containers or any flammable materials inside closed vehicles under the sun.
- Do not leave children inside closed vehicles, even for a short period.
- Beware of the risk of increased dust levels and their effect on patients with respiratory diseases and horizontal visibility.
- Wear loose, light-colored clothing and hats.

God knows best.
