A low pressure system displaces the warmth in its front towards Iraq and is followed by a sharp decline.. Details and recommendations

Arab Weather - According to the latest outputs of computer simulation, Arab Weather specialists said that Iraq will be affected, God willing, in the coming days by significant weather fluctuations as a result of the advance of a low pressure system from the west, which removes the warmth from the north of the Arabian Peninsula to Iraq, followed by a sharp drop in temperatures and the emergence of unstable weather conditions concentrated in the northern regions.

Low pressure displaces warmth from the Arabian Peninsula to Iraq

Starting from Thursday 26/December/2024, Iraq will be affected by an air mass with temperatures warmer than usual for this time of year, thus rising significantly to become about two degrees Celsius above their climatic averages. The weather will be relatively cold in the northern and western regions, and pleasant, tending to be slightly warm in the rest of the regions, including the capital, Baghdad, with the appearance of medium and high clouds, and the winds will be southeasterly, moderate in speed, sometimes active.

Friday: Spring-like temperatures during the day, winter chill returns at night

On Friday, Iraq will be increasingly affected by a very warm air mass coming from the south, and temperatures will rise again to become 2-3 degrees Celsius higher than their average for this time of year. The weather will be relatively cold in the northern and western regions, and tending to be warm in the rest of the regions, including the capital, Baghdad. The winds will be southeasterly, active in speed, causing dust waves.

During the hours of Friday/Saturday night, initial indicators indicate that Iraq will be affected by a cold air mass coming from the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea, so temperatures will drop sharply starting from the northern and western regions, passing through the late night and dawn hours towards the rest of the regions, including the capital, Baghdad.

Low pressure affects northern Iraq on Friday

The initial computer outputs show the impact of a low pressure system on the northern regions, with clouds appearing at different heights, and heavy rain showers accompanied by thunderstorms and hail. Some rain showers are likely to extend randomly to limited areas in the center and south of the country, sometimes accompanied by thunder. Snow falls on the high mountain peaks in the border areas adjacent to Iran and Turkey, due to the uniqueness of those areas and their high altitude above sea level.

Recommendations:

Beware of rapid and sharp temperature fluctuations.

Beware of low horizontal visibility due to dust and sand on Friday.

Safe use of heating devices.

Beware of the risk of flash floods due to heavy rains in some northern areas.

And God knows best.
