Arab Weather - Forecasts via the Arab Weather app indicate that Iraq will be affected, God willing, starting Monday, October 20, 2025, by a cooler air mass coming from eastern Europe. This will lead to a significant drop in temperatures across the region, in addition to the formation of atmospheric instability that will bring thunderstorms to the northern regions.

Details of Iraq being affected by a cooler air mass

From Monday to Wednesday, Iraq will be affected by a cooler, autumn-like air mass, leading to a significant drop in temperatures, which will be around or below their usual averages for this time of year. The weather will be autumnally cool over the high peaks and moderate in the rest of the country, tending to be hot during the afternoon and evening, while remaining relatively hot in the far southern regions.

Nighttime temperatures will also drop significantly, with the weather being relatively cold in the north and west of the country, and pleasant in the rest of the country, tending to be cold during the late night hours, including the capital, Baghdad.

Unstable weather conditions will affect the northern regions on Tuesday.

Northern Iraq is expected to be affected on Tuesday, October 21, by unstable weather conditions, accompanied by cloud cover. Scattered showers will fall, concentrated in the border areas between Turkey and Iran, with the possibility of thunderstorms and hail in some areas.

And God knows best.
