Iraq | The first week of summer climatically...extremely hot weather with a high on the cusp of 50 degrees Celsius in Baghdad

Arabia Weather - According to the latest weather map readings received by the Weather Operations Department at the Regional Arab Weather Center, a flaming center of a very hot air mass is positioned over Iraq, accompanied by an increase in the air pressure in the upper layers of the atmosphere, which fuels the heat dome phenomenon, and as a result it is expected that Temperatures will rise significantly starting Friday and during the beginning of next week, reaching very high levels, especially in southern Iraq and desert areas.

Temperatures will be around 50 degrees Celsius next week, coinciding with the start of the climatic summer season

In detail, the summer season begins every year with the beginning of the month of June in meteorology, and it is expected, God willing, according to the latest developed computer simulation outputs, that the maximum temperatures will touch the maximum for several days of next week, which coincides with the first week of summer climatically. 50 degrees Celsius in the central and southern regions of Iraq, but at the beginning of next week, especially the city of Basra and its environs, due to the position of the fiery center over those areas specifically.

The capital, Baghdad, is not far from the threshold of 50 degrees Celsius some days next week

Looking at the outputs of the numerical models, the capital, Baghdad, is not far from the direct effects of the extremely hot air mass, as it is expected that the city of Baghdad will record maximum temperatures reaching the threshold of 50 degrees Celsius on some days, with temperatures most days of next week initially ranging from 45-48 degrees. Celsius in a very hot climate.

Active winds and dust coincide with the extremely hot weather expected next week

It is expected that active westerly to northwesterly winds will blow, especially over southern Iraq, including the city of Basra, stirring up dust and dust, as the concentration of dust in the atmosphere increases, and horizontal visibility may decrease significantly, especially on Saturday and Sunday.

A clear rise in night temperatures during the week of June

With the increase in solar heating and the storage of large amounts of thermal energy by the Earth’s surface, it is expected that there will be a clear rise in the night (minimum) temperatures during the first week of June, especially towards its end, as the lowest temperature during the day reaches 30 degrees Celsius and is recorded shortly after sunrise. Thus, the weather during the night hours is relatively hot in the northern regions, while it is hot in the rest of the regions, including the capital, Baghdad, while it is very hot in the southern regions, especially the hours of the first part of the night.
