Weather of Arabia - The latest outputs of computer numerical models indicate an increase in Iraq's vulnerability, Wednesday and Thursday, to the relatively hot and dry air mass, with the emergence of some unstable weather conditions that will result in thunderstorms of rain in separate areas, prior to the return of temperatures to a gradual decrease with the first days of the astronomical holiday. .

In the details, Iraq is increasingly affected by the relatively hot and dry air mass, and thus another rise in temperatures occurs on Wednesday and Thursday, and they become higher than their rates for this time of the year by about 6-8 degrees Celsius, and the weather is relatively hot to hot in most regions of the country, and temperatures approach Highest on Thursday from the mid-thirties in the capital, Baghdad, and the winds will be receptive to southwesterly, light to moderate speed, sometimes active in some areas.

During the night hours, the weather is generally warm, tending to moderate late night hours and early morning, especially in the northern and western regions.

A state of atmospheric instability begins in a limited manner on Wednesday, and its impact increases on Thursday, and its impact is concentrated on the northern and western regions

Computer simulation models indicate that Iraq will be gradually affected, with the afternoon and evening hours of Wednesday, by a state of instability concentrated in the western regions, where clouds multiply at different heights and are dissolved by some thunderstorm cumulus clouds, accompanied by sporadic local showers of rain accompanied by thunder and activity at the speed of winds that raise dust locally. .

And with Thursday, especially with the afternoon and evening hours, it is expected that the scope of the impact of the cumulus clouds unit will increase, as thunderstorms of rain fall in most regions of Anbar Governorate and gradually extend to include separate parts of the northern regions, the rains are sometimes heavy in some narrow geographical areas rather than others, which causes With the formation of torrents and the rise of the water level, and the same weather conditions are accompanied by what is called downward winds, which work to raise dust waves for a temporary period in the forefront of thunderclouds.

It is not excluded, with the night hours of Thursday / Friday, that some cumulus clouds will extend towards separate areas in the center and south of the country, accompanied by local showers of rain, accompanied by activity at the speed of dust-raising winds, if they occur.

A drop in temperatures with the astronomical first day of Eid Al-Fitr

It is expected, God willing, that temperatures will continue to decrease with the first days of Eid Al-Fitr astronomically (Friday), especially in the northern and western regions, but they will continue to be higher than their rates for this time of the year by about 3-4 degrees Celsius, and the weather will be warm in the north and west of the country and relatively hot throughout Central and the capital, Baghdad, while it continues to be hot to the south, and the northwesterly winds are moderate in speed, sometimes activating and raising dust in some areas.

There is a noticeable drop in the night temperatures on Thursday/Friday night, and the weather will be mild to mild in most regions, and warm in the south.

Arab weather recommendations for the coming days:

  • Avoid prolonged and direct exposure to sunlight, especially at noon and afternoon.
  • Attention from the dangers of torrential rains forming in some northern and western regions on Thursday.
  • Attention to the dangers of low and possibly lack of horizontal visibility as a result of dust at the front of thunderclouds.

God knows.
