Iraq: The first autumn breezes visit the country, and these are the areas affected by rain.

Arab Weather - Iraq will be affected by a colder-than-usual air mass starting Friday, leading to a clear and noticeable drop in temperatures in the northern, western, and central regions, while temperatures remain high in the south. A strong sandstorm is also expected to accompany the passage of this autumnal mass, increasing dust in most northern, western, and central regions of the country, including the capital, Baghdad. The Arab Weather Center warns of strong wind speeds, especially in the western regions, which may lead to reduced or no horizontal visibility.

Chance of the first rain showers of the fall season

God willing, medium- and low-altitude clouds are expected to appear on Friday, providing a chance for scattered showers of rain in parts of the northern mountainous border regions. This is the first chance of rain of the fall season, which is unusual for this time of year.

Night temperatures drop

Nighttime temperatures on Friday/Saturday nights will drop compared to previous nights, with moderate weather in the western regions, pleasant to relatively cold in the northern highlands, and moderate elsewhere. Nighttime temperatures in Baghdad will hover around the twenties during the late hours.

And God knows best.
