Iraq: A heat wave is affecting Iraq, with temperatures reaching the high 30s in Baghdad at the end of the week.

Arab Weather - Meteorologists at the Arab Weather Regional Center said that the latest readings from computer simulations indicate that Iraq will be affected by a warm, dry wave in the coming days, which will cause a further rise in temperatures, reaching around 30 degrees Celsius in the capital, Baghdad, and perhaps higher, especially on Saturday, God willing.

Very warm weather with a tendency to heat up in the afternoon and evening in the coming days.

Temperatures will continue to rise starting Friday, and will increase further on Saturday, God willing, to near average for this time of year. The weather will be warm across most regions, tending to be hot during the afternoon and evening hours, especially in the central and southern regions.

The expected temperatures coincide with a noticeable decrease in wind speed, which will be moderate most of the time, with bright sunshine. The temperatures felt by the human body will be much warmer than those recorded by monitoring stations, meaning the heat will be felt more intensely, especially during the afternoon hours.

Temperatures will hover around 30 degrees Celsius in Baghdad and various regions in the coming days.

Maximum temperatures over the coming days will range between 29 and 32 degrees Celsius across various regions, including the north and center of the country. In the capital, Baghdad, they will range between 30 and 31 degrees Celsius, while temperatures will be lower in the west of the country, specifically western Anbar and the Rutba region, with maximums in these areas ranging between 24 and 27 degrees Celsius.

Night temperatures will rise compared to previous nights, with a return to pleasant weather expected.

Nighttime temperatures will also rise compared to previous nights, with the weather expected to be pleasant in the western regions, cool in the late afternoon, and pleasant to relatively cold in the northern highlands, but moderate in the rest of the region, with temperatures in the twenties in the capital, Baghdad, especially early in the evening.

And God knows best.
