Arab Weather - According to weather maps and the Arab Weather app, Iraq will be affected by an autumnal air mass starting Monday, October 13, 2025, gradually lowering temperatures. Temperatures are expected to drop further by midweek as the autumnal air mass deepens into various parts of the country.

Daytime temperatures and weather

Pleasant autumn weather is returning to Iraq during the daytime after a long wait, with temperatures lower than their seasonal average for this time of year. Highs in Baghdad are expected to hover around 30 degrees Celsius.

Night cold and the need to wear warm clothes

Nighttime temperatures will generally be cooler than usual, so it's important to wear warmer clothing, especially in the northern and western regions, where minimum temperatures will reach around 12°C, while they will reach 15°C in the capital, Baghdad.

Can it be considered a cold wave?

The app indicates that the air mass affecting Iraq is considered normal for this time of year and does not technically qualify as a cold wave. Therefore, it cannot be considered a cold wave.

And God knows best.
