Weather of Arabia - The latest output of numerical weather forecast models indicates an extremely hot air mass deepening across the different layers of the atmosphere, especially the surface, towards Iraq on Saturday, which will cause a significant rise in temperatures to record levels in many regions.
According to the numerical air outputs, temperatures are expected to approach the 50-degree barrier in many parts of central and southern Iraq during the afternoon hours on Saturday, and among the most prominent Iraqi cities that are expected to witness record temperatures and the temperature in them approaching 50 degrees Celsius is Basra, Al-Qurnah , Nasiriyah, Samawah, Diwaniyah, in addition to the capital, Baghdad, and others.
The scientific reason for the deepening of that very hot air mass towards Iraq is due to the eruption of a moderate air mass coming from the Mediterranean Sea towards the Levant, forcing a hot and record-temperature air mass to penetrate directly into Iraqi lands.
Returning to the average temperature in the capital Baghdad for the month of May for the last 30 years, we find that the average temperature in the capital Baghdad is 36 degrees Celsius, and the expected temperature on Saturday is close to the 50 degrees Celsius barrier, as temperatures are about 12-14 degrees higher than their averages. Celsius, and temperatures are considered abnormal for this time of year.
