When does the rainy season begin in Iraq?

Arab Weather - A state of atmospheric instability will arise at the beginning of next week as a result of a cold upper-level trough pushing into the eastern Mediterranean region, which will coincide with an effective response of the Red Sea trough and the flow of tropical moisture from the south, leading to the emergence of strong atmospheric disturbances accompanied by thunderstorms of varying intensity.

Rainy weather will begin on Sunday and intensify on Monday.

In more detail, God willing, the country is expected to be affected by a state of atmospheric instability on Sunday, December 6, 2025, which will intensify and expand on Monday, December 7, 2025, leading to the development of cumulonimbus clouds and widespread rainfall across Iraq. This rainfall will be heavy and accompanied by thunderstorms in several areas, including the capital, Baghdad, and the Kurdistan Region.

This is accompanied by hail of varying sizes, sometimes quite large in certain areas. These weather conditions can lead to flash floods and torrents, and potentially even flooding, particularly in low-lying areas.

And God knows best.
