Iraq | Blazing temperatures and expected activity of Al-Bawarih winds at the end of the week

Arab weather - Sinan Khalaf - It is expected, God willing, that the Republic of Iraq will remain under the influence of very hot summer weather during the coming days, and the maximum temperatures in the capital, Baghdad, will be in the late forties Celsius, while they are around 50 degrees Celsius or slightly higher.

The latest weather forecasts issued by the forecast staff at the "Arab Regional Weather Center" indicate that the southern parts of Iraq will be affected on Thursday and Friday by the active northwest winds, known locally as the Al-Bawareh winds.

It is expected that the winds will start their activity as of noon hours, so that the atmosphere will gradually turn into dusty in general, accompanied by a decrease in the extent of horizontal visibility in varying proportions.

The activity of these winds comes in light of the concentration of a surface high in the Levant region, in conjunction with the concentration of a surface depression to the east of the Arabian Peninsula, which pushes the active northwest winds from southern Iraq towards Kuwait and the eastern parts of the Arabian Peninsula.
