Arab Weather - Weather experts at the Arab Weather Center said that the latest data from computer modeling shows an intensification of atmospheric instability at the end of the week, accompanied by showers in several areas. It will intensify during the hours of Thursday/Friday night and Friday, when the upper air depression passes and a clear intensification of the instability occurs, leading to the proliferation of cumulus clouds with showers of heavy rain in different areas, concentrated in the central and southern regions, and sometimes very heavy and accompanied by strong thunderstorms and lightning, and showers of heavy accumulated hail.

The state of atmospheric instability will continue on Thursday, concentrated in the south of the country, while the chances of rain will temporarily weaken in the rest of the regions.

In detail, temperatures rise significantly and become warmer than their usual rates for this time of year on Thursday, and the weather is moderate in most parts of the country, including the capital, Baghdad. The state of atmospheric instability continues, but it is concentrated in the southern parts, where clouds multiply at different altitudes, and showers of rain fall in scattered areas, sometimes heavy in some areas. As for the winds, they are moderate easterly, but they may sometimes be active and stir up dust and dirt.

The upper air depression will pass and there will be a clear increase in the intensity of the instability during the hours of Thursday/Friday night and Friday dawn and day.
