A low pressure system will affect the northern regions of Iraq on Thursday, accompanied by a cold air mass.

Arab Weather - Meteorologists at the Arab Weather Regional Center said that the latest outputs from the so-called computer simulation indicate that the northern regions of Iraq will be affected on Thursday by a low pressure system, while the central and southern regions of Iraq will be affected on Thursday by warmer air currents that will bring temperatures to twenties in the capital, Baghdad, followed by a sharp and noticeable drop in temperatures on Friday.

A low pressure system will affect the northern regions on Thursday, accompanied by a cold air mass.

On Thursday, the northern regions will be affected by a low pressure system, with cloudy weather prevailing with intermittent rain, which may sometimes be heavy and accompanied by hail showers. Snow will also fall over the northern peaks, and the winds will be active westerly in the western regions, causing dust waves in those areas.

Thursday: A gradual rise in temperatures in the center and south of the country, and a decrease in the severity of the cold weather during the day.

Temperatures rise further to be around their average for this time of year, with sunny weather prevailing and less cold than previous days, but remaining cold in the northern and western regions, while moderate in the rest of the regions, with winds of variable direction and light to moderate speed. During the night hours, the weather remains cold and turns very cold in most regions, especially the northern and western regions, with the late night hours and dawn.

With the expected rise in temperatures, the maximum temperature in the capital Baghdad and most of the central and southern regions is approaching 20 degrees Celsius for the first time in several days, and despite the feeling of a little warmth during the afternoon and evening hours, the temperature differences will be sharp between day and night from 13-15 degrees Celsius, so it is recommended not to reduce clothing and to continue wearing warm clothes.

These weather conditions coincide with chances of some rain in parts of the far north and south of the country, God willing.

Friday: The cold air mass extends to the capital, Baghdad, and a wide state of frost and freezing affects the country at night

On Friday, the effects of the cold air mass extend to the capital, Baghdad, but the low pressure system moves to the east, and temperatures drop significantly to become 3-4 degrees Celsius below average. The weather will be cold in most areas except for the far south of the country, while it will be very cold over the high northern mountainous heights. Clouds will appear at different altitudes over the northern regions, with the possibility of rain in limited areas in the form of snow over the mountain peaks.

During the hours of Friday/Saturday night, night temperatures will drop and the weather will become very cold in all regions, while it will be very cold in the northern regions and high mountainous areas. Freezing and frost will also occur in large areas of the country.

God knows best
