Arab Weather - The latest output of the numerical weather models processed by the Air Operations Department at the Arab Regional Weather Center indicates the rush of a new cold, polar Siberian air mass towards Iraq, starting from Wednesday afternoon and evening and for several days, amid expectations that a large wave of ice will form again, which poses a real danger On the agricultural season and expose it to collapse.Details
The Arab Weather Center expected that Iraq will cross as of the afternoon and evening on Wednesday and during the day, a cold air front, behind which the very cold Siberian polar winds are rushing again, so there will be a significant drop in temperatures, especially in the western and northern regions, and the weather becomes very cold in the northern heights, It is very cold in the north and west of the country, while it is relatively cold to cold in the rest of the regions.
The cold air front begins to cross from the northern regions during the afternoon and evening of Wednesday, pushing large amounts of rainy clouds that coincide with the beginning of the flow of polar winds, and showers of rain fall on the north of the country. For the western regions with evening hours, but sharply weaker.
Coinciding with the crossing of low clouds and touching the surface of the Earth, dense fog is formed.
The winds will be southeasterly to southwesterly, moderate to brisk, accompanied by strong gusts exceeding the 60 km/h barrier that raises dust and thick dust.
With the crossing of the cold air front and the flow of polar winds in the layers of the atmosphere in a way that allows snowfall to occur, it is expected, God willing, that the very dense and accumulated snow will fall over the northern mountainous heights on Wednesday, including Sulaymaniyah, Kirkuk, Mosul and Erbil, in a way that hinders the manifestations of public life again.
It is also expected that the opportunity will be created again for areas in western Iraq to witness snowfall during Wednesday evening, the snow will be accumulating according to the intensity and continuity of precipitation, and it includes, including, the western humid areas such as Mahfoor Al-Jundi, and it also includes desert roads such as the Baghdad International Road, in addition to the Trebil border crossing. Snow expected on the west is considered rare because these areas are not accustomed to receiving snowfalls.
With the night hours of Wednesday/Thursday, the crossing of the cold air front moves to the central and later northeastern regions, and heavy rains and heavy hail showers continue to fall on the northern regions, with an intensification of snowfall and the occurrence of more accumulations over the northern mountainous heights, while rainy clouds also move to the areas Central, including the capital, Baghdad, with the crossing of the cold air front, where showers of rain and hail fall over central Iraq, and the effect of precipitation will later move to the northeastern regions, and the chance of snow showers over the western regions remains, coinciding with the crossing of low clouds touching the surface of the earth leading to the formation of dense fog .
Winds will be northwesterly to southeasterly, moderate in speed, energizing at times and accompanied by strong gusts of dust and dust.
The weather forecast staff at the Arab Regional Weather Center is expected to deepen the impact of the new, very cold Siberian polar air mass to be centered over Iraq on Wednesday/Thursday night, leading to the flow of cold northwestern winds as temperatures drop sharply and significantly to become below zero degrees Celsius in Large areas of western and northern Iraq, and the roads are still wet, which leads to the formation of a large-scale ice wave over those areas. The ice formation includes internal and external roads in cities, which poses a real danger when walking on the roads, while the rest of the areas witness very cold weather and temperatures are very low. It reaches only 6 degrees Celsius in the capital, Baghdad, while it is slightly higher in the southern regions.
It is expected, according to the latest outputs of numerical weather models, that the impact of the very cold Siberian polar air mass will deepen on Iraq on Thursday, as there is a decrease in temperatures to be less than average for this time of the year, where temperatures range between 3 and 12 degrees in most regions of Iraq. It will be below zero degrees by several degrees in the northern mountains, and the weather will be very cold in the northern highlands, and very cold in the rest of the regions, with ice forming on the roads that witnessed snowfall, especially in the morning hours.
Clouds continue to appear at different altitudes in the north, and showers of rain and hail will fall on the areas, and snow continues to fall over the northern and northeastern mountainous heights as a result of the remnants of the cold air front that crossed later with the stability of the weather in the north at midnight on Thursday/Friday.
Winds will be northwesterly moderate to brisk, accompanied by strong gusts exceeding the 70 km/h barrier and significantly increasing the sense of cold.
The Siberian polar air mass is moving towards the south and pushing freezing cold winds towards all regions of Iraq on Thursday/Friday night, as temperatures drop in all regions of the country to be below zero by about 14 degrees Celsius in the northern peaks or more than that in some peaks, while it is between 12- to 4- degrees Celsius in the northern and western regions, while the temperatures are between 1 and 2- in the rest of the central and southern regions, and the temperatures are touching zero degrees Celsius in the capital, Baghdad again.
With the formation of frost and freezing in large areas of the country, and ice forming in the wet roads amidst unusual for Iraq to witness for several continuous days and Siberian polar temperatures with distinction.
