A state of atmospheric instability accompanied by heavy thunderstorms requires attention to the risk of floods in these areas.

Arab Weather - Weather maps at the Arab Weather Regional Center indicate that northern Iraq will be affected by a moderate to strong state of atmospheric instability on Saturday/Sunday evening and night, resulting from the convergence of a cold air mass in the upper layers of the atmosphere, with a surface extension of a thermal depression. This convergence leads to the proliferation of cumulonimbus clouds and the fall of thunderstorms in several areas, especially in the south of the country tonight and Wednesday, accompanied by heavy and accumulated showers of hail, which may be of a large size.

Important recommendations from Arab Weather during unstable weather conditions:

Stay away from valleys and torrents due to the high risk of flooding, especially after midnight on Tuesday/Wednesday.

Beware of the risks of rising water levels, water pools and traffic jams.

Take shelter indoors during thunderstorms.

And God knows best.
