Iraq | A severe and prolonged heat wave is affecting the republic, and 50 degrees Celsius is approaching the capital, Baghdad

Arabia Weather - The latest advanced computer modeling readings at the Regional Arabia Weather Center indicate that the Republic of Iraq will be affected, as of Monday, by an intense and exhausting heat wave that will reach its peak at the end of the week in scorching weather, and the capital, Baghdad, may record the first 50 degrees Celsius for this year, while it may exceed it in the desert and southern regions. .

Computer outputs: The heat wave begins Monday and coincides with dense dust waves prevailing over a number of regions

It is expected, God willing, that a very hot and fiery air mass will be present over Iraq starting Monday and continuing on Tuesday and Wednesday, such that temperatures will rise dramatically, exceeding their usual levels by about 3-5 degrees Celsius, and the weather will be hot from the start of the day and turn into extremely hot in most areas. During the rest of the day, the maximum temperature in the capital, Baghdad, reaches 44-46 degrees Celsius, while it exceeds that limit in southern Iraq, especially the desert areas.

The specialists at the Arabia Weather Center said that the beginning of the heat wave will coincide with the blowing of moderate northerly to northwesterly winds that will be active in the afternoon and will be accompanied by strong gusts, especially in the afternoon, which will lead to the formation of waves of dust in many areas. It is feared that the dust waves will sometimes be so intense that it allows Due to the arrival of what are called sand storms, which causes an increase in amounts of dust and a decrease or perhaps a lack of horizontal visibility. The dusty situation also includes several areas of Iraq, including the city of Basra, and may affect the capital, Baghdad.

Computer modeling: The flames of the air mass will be more visible at the end of the week, and Baghdad is on the cusp of 50 Celsius.

Computer numerical models at the Arabia Weather Center sense that a hot center of extremely hot air mass will be centered over Iraq and loom over most areas of Iraq, causing a clear intensification of the heat wave on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, as temperatures will rise further, exceeding what they are supposed to be by about 7 - 9 degrees Celsius, and the most appropriate description of the weather at that time is as scorching in Baghdad and in all regions of Iraq, where maximum temperatures are between 48-49 degrees Celsius in the capital, Baghdad, while reaching the threshold of 50-51 degrees Celsius in the southern and desert regions, including the city of Basra, which is Record values are expected to be recorded for the first time this year, God willing.

Hot nights await Iraq, and the lowest temperatures are recorded in Arab capitals at the height of the day

It is expected, God willing, that the night temperatures during the heat wave period, especially the weekend, will witness a clear rise, 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. These values are sometimes recorded during the peak of the day in the capitals of the Levant.

Important recommendations from Arabia Weather during the heat wave and dusty weather:

• Avoid prolonged and direct exposure to sunlight
• Drink sufficient amounts of fluids and moisturizers constantly
• Do not leave compressed containers and any flammable materials inside closed vehicles under the sunlight
• Do not leave children inside closed vehicles, even for a short time
• Be aware of the risk of increased levels of dust and its impact on patients with respiratory problems, respiratory problems, and horizontal vision
• Wear loose, light-colored clothing and hats.

God knows.
