Sunny weather and temperatures in the twenties with northwesterly winds blowing across various regions of Iraq

Arab Weather - The latest readings from what is called computer simulation indicate the continued absence of the usual winter air depressions from various regions of the eastern Mediterranean basin, including Iraq, in the last days of the month, with sunny and clear skies, with temperatures continuing to be warmer than their usual rates for this time of year.

Temperatures on the cusp of 20 degrees Celsius in the capital, Baghdad

In the coming days, temperatures will be 2-4 degrees Celsius warmer than average, and the weather will be more spring-like than wintery, with relatively cold weather prevailing in the northern and western regions, while it tends to be slightly warm in the rest of the regions, including the capital Baghdad. The winds will be northwesterly, moderate to active in speed.

God willing, temperatures in the capital, Baghdad, are expected to be on the cusp of 20 degrees Celsius, in addition to the rest of the central and southern regions of Iraq, coinciding with the prevalence of sunny and clear weather.

Cold weather at night and no changes in weather systems soon

Despite the high temperatures during the day, the weather will remain cold at night, and will even turn very cold during the late night hours and early morning, God willing. The forecasts do not indicate any imminent changes in the weather systems, as the strong high pressure system will continue to control the region, which will lead to temperatures remaining higher than usual until at least the end of the month.

Scientific reasons behind the absence of the usual winter depressions in Iraq

We conclude from the weather maps that the scientific reasons for the absence of weather events are represented by the rush of a cold air mass towards the western Mediterranean, forming air depressions. If we take a further look, we find that storms are active in the North Atlantic and work to pull cold air masses and gather them in high latitudes. We also notice the extension of the Siberian high towards Turkey and Iran, and it works as a barrier system to the advance of cold air masses that cause air depressions when they reach the surface of warmer waters.

And God knows best.
