A rare case of atmospheric instability is affecting Iraq today.

According to weather updates, Iraq is experiencing a rare form of atmospheric instability today, unusual for this time of summer. This condition is expected to lead to:

Formation of local thunderstorms.

Random showers of rain in narrow geographical areas.

Weather activity is particularly concentrated in parts of the northern regions of the country.

 

This weather condition is unusual in Iraq during the summer, which is generally characterized by dryness and stable weather conditions. These fluctuations are likely the result of the spread of tropical moisture into the region, coupled with indirect effects from weather systems in the upper atmosphere.
