Arab Weather - Meteorologists at the Arab Weather Regional Center said that the latest outputs received from the so-called computer simulation show that Iraq is affected by an air mass that is considered the coldest since last spring, starting in the north and west of the country and then extending towards the central regions and the capital, Baghdad. Indicators also show that the effects of the same air mass will remain throughout the coming week, and increase in the second half, which is accompanied by a clear coldness in the weather at night.

 

Northern and western Iraq will begin to be affected by an autumn air mass on Saturday and Sunday, gradually extending to the capital, Baghdad.

 

In detail, weather experts said that weather maps show that Iraq will be increasingly affected on Saturday and Sunday by an autumn air mass, starting from the northern and western regions, passing through the capital Baghdad and the center and south of the country. As a result, temperatures will drop further, and the weather will be moderate autumn weather in most northern and western regions, relatively hot in central Iraq and hot in the south.

 

Maximum temperatures on Saturday will reach 31 degrees, then drop to 29 degrees Celsius on Sunday in the capital, Baghdad, while in the north and west of the country they will be between 25-27 degrees Celsius, and will be in the mid-thirties in the south.

 

14 Day Weather in Baghdad, Iraq

 

The air mass will deepen in the second half of the week and temperatures will be the coldest in Baghdad since last spring.

 

According to computer data, the influence of the autumn air mass on Iraq will deepen starting Monday, and increase in the second half of the week, causing temperatures to drop further to be 7-9 degrees Celsius below their average for this time of year. The weather will be autumnal and cool in the morning, especially in the west and north of the country, and pleasant during the rest of the day in most areas, including the capital, Baghdad.

 

Temperatures are expected to be the coldest since last spring in Baghdad, reaching 24-26 degrees Celsius at the height of the day, while they will range from 19-23 degrees Celsius in the north and west of the country (and 8-10 degrees in the mountains), and drop in the south to around 25-27 degrees Celsius.

The coldest nights in months will prevail in the country next week

 

Night temperatures tend to drop further, and the weather tends to be cold in different parts of the country in the early night hours, but it becomes relatively cold in the late night hours, dawn and early morning in most areas (cold in the west and very cold over the northern mountains).

 

Minimum temperatures range from 12-14 degrees Celsius in the capital Baghdad, and are lower in the northern and western regions, thus the temperature differences between day and night become sharp and reach approximately 14-17 degrees Celsius, which increases the chances of catching a cold and seasonal diseases. The weather during the late night and early morning hours requires wearing warmer clothes, with a focus on children's and elderly clothing.

 

And God knows best.
