Iraq - Weekend | Variation of temperatures and thunderstorms expected in the northern regions

Arab weather - Iraq is affected by the hot air mass on Friday, so there is a further rise in temperatures to become higher than their normal rates for this time of the year by about 9-10 degrees Celsius, and the weather is very hot in the central and southern parts, and relatively hot to hot In the rest of the regions, with the exception of the northern mountainous highlands, temperatures approach the 40 ° C barrier in the capital, Baghdad, with clouds appearing at medium and high altitudes, and thunderstorms of rain are possible in parts of the northern and northeastern highlands, and rain is accompanied by a great activity at wind speed The surface winds in the event they occur, and the winds will be westerly to northwesterly moderate in speed. They are sometimes active over large areas of Iraq and raise dust and dust when they are active.

The weather at night is gentle in the northern and western regions, and moderate to warm in the rest of the regions, with the exception of the northern mountainous highlands where the weather is cold, and the appearance of medium and high clouds continues and the opportunity remains ready for showers of rain in parts of the northern highlands, and the winds will be westerly to northwest Light to moderate speed, it is active sometimes in some areas, especially the western ones.

The following map represents computer modeling of precipitation predictions, which is available via the Badr Numerical Modeling System.

A decrease in night temperatures occurs, and the weather turns to be moderate in the central and southern regions, and pleasant in the northern and western regions, and it is cooler in the northern mountainous highlands, with the continued appearance of clouds at different heights, so that the opportunity remains ready for thunder showers of rain in parts of The northern regions, and the winds will be westerly to northwest, and their intensity will decrease significantly, and become light to moderate in speed, active sometimes in some areas.
