Arab Weather - According to computer maps at the Arab Weather Center, the weather in Iraq during Eid al-Fitr is expected to be extremely volatile and unstable, especially at the beginning of the holiday. Temperatures in the capital, Baghdad, will remain within the range of 32-33 degrees Celsius, with the country affected by a state of atmospheric instability, which will cause thunderstorms accompanied by active surface winds that will stir up dust and sand.

the details:

Saturday (last day of Ramadan, astronomically): Iraq will be affected by a Khamaseen depression accompanied by a relatively hot and dry air mass. The weather will be relatively hot and dry in general, with the appearance of medium and high clouds. The winds will be moderate to brisk southeasterly, causing dust and sandstorms in the western regions of the country.

Sunday (the first day of Eid, astronomically speaking): Temperatures will remain 9-11 degrees Celsius warmer than usual. The weather will be relatively hot and generally dry, with some medium and high clouds. The winds will be moderate to brisk southeasterly, stirring up dust and sand in several parts of the country. The weather will be dusty to varying degrees.

Monday and Tuesday (the second and third days of Eid, astronomically): The weather will be relatively hot and generally dry, with the appearance of medium and high clouds. At night, the weather will be warmer than usual and will tend to moderate during the late night hours and dawn.

Chance of thunderstorms concentrated in the western regions

Medium and high-altitude clouds are expected on Sunday and Monday, bringing with them the potential for scattered thunderstorms. Some of these showers could be heavy, accompanied by hail and strong winds that stir up dust.

And God knows best.
