Weather of Arabia- Unstable weather conditions are expected in the regions of the Levant and the eastern basin of the Mediterranean, due to the advance of a cold and humid air mass coming from the Greek islands and southern Turkey towards the region, in conjunction with the presence of an air depression on the surface in the Levant and the northern peninsula Arabia, and then it will move towards the Iraqi interior on Friday evening and Saturday night.

The effects of this on the country will be in the form of a rise in temperatures to the mid-twenties in many areas on Friday, and more towards the southern regions. From northern, central and eastern Iraq.

These clouds are generally accompanied by moderate rain showers, and separate thunderstorms.

But the important thing is a clear and significant increase in wind speed due to the depth of the surface air depression in Iraq, and consequently the expectation of dense dust waves, especially in western and southern Iraq, with the presence of raised dust in many other regions.

Here, the alert emerges from the low and possibly lack of horizontal visibility due to this thick dust, especially on the external roads in the aforementioned areas, as well as citizens with chronic respiratory, immunological or ocular diseases from the risk of health complications they have due to the high concentration of dust in the air.
