The Arab Weather Center's weather forecast department is monitoring a belt of thunderstorms and rain currently affecting the western and northwestern regions of Iraq, including parts of Anbar, Salah al-Din, and Nineveh governorates.

 

These thunderstorms are expected to be accompanied by heavy rainfall, hail in some areas, and sudden surface wind activity, which could lead to the formation of local dust waves that will reduce horizontal visibility.

 

It is recommended to take precautions, especially in open areas and on external roads, due to the possibility of reduced horizontal visibility due to dust, in addition to the possibility of flash floods and hail in some areas.

 

And God knows best.
