Arab Weather - The latest weather map readings at the Arab Weather Regional Center indicate expectations of a significant and noticeable increase in the pace of unstable weather conditions during the evening and night hours of Friday/Saturday, as heavy to very heavy rains are expected to fall, including the capital, Baghdad, and many Iraqi cities, thus increasing the risk of torrential floods and possibly floods as a result of the abundance and large amounts of expected rain.

These weather disturbances are expected to include most areas of Iraq, especially the southern and central regions, extending towards Tikrit and the capital Baghdad, in addition to Kut and parts of Nasiriyah. These weather conditions require extreme caution against the risks of torrential floods, especially in the northern regions, and the possibility of floods resulting from extremely heavy thunderstorms.

High-altitude thunderclouds produce heavy hail and large amounts of hail.

Also, as a result of the formation of high-altitude thunderclouds, the possibility of large hail falling in some areas increases and may be very dense, which may cause damage to agricultural property and infrastructure. This weather is accompanied by activity in surface winds that raise dust, which increases the intensity of thunderstorms. It is advised to be careful during this night due to the severity of strong weather phenomena.

A sharp drop in temperatures accompanies the passage of the cold air front

With the passage of the cold air front, a sharp drop in temperatures is expected in all regions, and the weather will be relatively cold to cold in most parts of Iraq, which requires wearing warmer clothes.

God knows best.
