Arab Weather - The weather forecasting staff at the Arab Weather Regional Center reported that the latest outputs of the numerical computer models indicate that Iraq will be affected in the coming days by a state of atmospheric instability resulting from the approach of a low pressure system and a cold air mass from the west, coinciding with a surface extension of what is called the Red Sea Low, which pushes warm air currents in the layers of the atmosphere close to the Earth's surface.

Sunday during the day: The beginning of the emergence of a state of atmospheric instability in western Iraq

In detail, Iraq will be affected by a state of atmospheric instability starting Sunday, but temperatures will continue to rise. On Sunday, relatively cold weather will prevail in the north and west of the country and pleasant in the rest of the regions, coinciding with the start of atmospheric instability during the daytime randomly in the western regions, where clouds multiply and showers of rain fall, especially in the afternoon.

The impact of the unstable weather conditions will continue on Sunday evening and night/Monday

During the evening and night hours of Sunday/Monday, the state of atmospheric instability continues, as cloudy weather prevails in large areas of Iraq, including various northern governorates, in addition to the central regions and the capital, Baghdad, with scattered showers of rain that are distributed randomly. The rain is heavy in some geographical areas and accompanied by showers of hail with noticeable activity in the speed of dust-raising winds during the passage of thunderclouds. The rain is in the form of snow over the northern mountain peaks in the border areas adjacent to Iran and Turkey.

Chances of rain showers include the capital Baghdad during the late night hours and Monday morning. It is advised to be aware of the risks of slipping on the roads when it rains, especially in areas that witness light showers of rain.

Temperatures to rise on Monday, weather instability to continue

Iraq will continue to be affected on Monday by the state of atmospheric instability with scattered showers of rain distributed randomly, and the rain will be heavy in some geographical areas, especially in the west of the country. At the same time, an air mass with temperatures warmer than their averages for this time of year will rush in, as temperatures rise and relatively cold weather prevails in the northern and western regions, while it will be pleasant in the rest of the regions, including the capital, Baghdad. The winds will be southeasterly, moderate in speed, and sometimes active.

And God knows best.
