Iraq | The upper air pressure increases and 50 degrees Celsius returns to the country in the coming days

Arab Weather - According to the latest weather map readings received by the Weather Operations Department at the Arab Weather Regional Center, a blazing center of a very hot air mass is located over Iraq, accompanied by the intensification of the high pressure system in the upper layers of the atmosphere, which fuels the phenomenon of the heat dome. As a result, temperatures are expected to rise significantly from Monday to Thursday, recording high levels in southern Iraq and desert areas.

Temperatures around 50 degrees Celsius in the south.

In detail, God willing, and according to the latest outputs of the developed computer simulation, it is expected that temperatures will rise significantly to be higher than their average for this time of year by about 7-9 degrees Celsius. The weather will be very hot, with maximum temperatures touching 50 degrees Celsius on several days this week in the desert and southern regions of Iraq, especially the city of Basra and its surroundings, due to the location of the blazing center above those areas in particular. Winds will be variable in direction to southwesterly, light to moderate in speed.

14 Day Weather in Baghdad, Iraq

The capital Baghdad is not far from the threshold of 50 degrees Celsius on some days this week

Looking at the outputs of the numerical models, the capital Baghdad is not far from the direct effects of the very hot air mass, as the city of Baghdad is expected to record maximum temperatures reaching the threshold of 50 degrees Celsius on some days. Temperatures will initially range between 45-48 degrees Celsius most days of the coming week amid very hot weather.

A clear rise in night temperatures

With the increase in solar heating and the Earth's surface storing large amounts of thermal energy, a clear rise in night (minimum) temperatures is expected, with the lowest temperature during the day reaching 30 degrees Celsius, which is recorded shortly after sunrise. Thus, the weather during the night hours will be relatively hot in the northern regions, while it will be hot in the rest of the regions, including the capital Baghdad, and will be very hot in the southern regions, especially during the first part of the night.
