Iraq: Major weather fluctuations await the country, including thunderstorms in these areas.

Arab Weather - Iraq will be affected by weather and temperature fluctuations this week. Weather maps at the Arab Weather Center indicate a variation in temperatures throughout the week, accompanied by the possibility of some thunderstorms and rain showers in parts of the country, God willing.

Weather fluctuations this week, including thunderstorms, are expected in these areas.

In detail, the latest weather maps indicate that a moderate air mass will sweep towards the Levant by the middle of the week, specifically on Tuesday. This will be accompanied by an expansion of hot air from the Arabian Peninsula towards Iraq, leading to a significant rise in temperatures across various regions.

On Wednesday, a moderate air mass is expected to advance toward Iraq, starting from the western regions. Temperatures in these areas will drop significantly compared to previous periods, while temperatures will rise in the central and southern parts of the country. Due to the temperature differences, winds will be active, causing dust storms in many areas. This calls for caution when driving and engaging in outdoor activities.

On Wednesday, particularly during the afternoon and evening hours, cumulonimbus clouds are expected to increase over some areas of northern Iraq, particularly the mountainous regions along the border. Thunderstorms are also expected to occur in some areas, with some of these showers possibly heavy and accompanied by hail in narrow geographical areas.

Temperatures to drop in central and southern parts of the country at the end of the week

On Thursday and Friday, the moderate air mass will expand further to include the central and southern regions, leading to a reduction in the intensity of the heat, as temperatures drop significantly and the weather becomes cooler, especially at night. Dusty conditions will continue to be intense, particularly in the north of the country.

This is a transitional period, and it is normal for such weather and temperature fluctuations to occur as a result of the conflict between hot air masses coming from the Arabian Peninsula and moderate air masses coming from the north and west.

And God knows best.
