Arab Weather - Weather maps indicate that during the hours of Tuesday/Wednesday night, the influence of Siberian winds will deepen further towards Iraq, leading to an additional drop in temperatures to become around or below zero degrees Celsius in the western and northern regions, especially the mountainous ones. While it touches 3 degrees Celsius in the capital, Baghdad, amidst a very cold winter atmosphere that requires the use of heating devices.

With the decrease in cloud cover, coinciding with the decrease in wind speed and the increase in humidity levels, the weather conditions are suitable for the formation of frost in many and wide areas of Iraq, especially the northern and western regions, while the formation of frost in places where water pools are located is not ruled out.

The cold wave continues to affect Iraq on Wednesday, and temperatures are colder than average

The cold Siberian air mass is expected to move eastward by the end of the week, but its effects will remain evident on the atmosphere. As a result, temperatures will remain about 4 degrees Celsius colder than usual for this time of year. Very cold weather will prevail during the morning hours, especially in the northern and western regions.

The rest of the day, the weather remains semi-winter cold in various regions, and is less cold in the center and south of the country, including the capital Baghdad, with light to moderate northerly winds. During the night hours, the weather continues to be very cold with low minimum temperatures, which means the need for heating continues, especially in the mountainous areas.

And God knows best.
