Iraq Bids Farewell to June with Heat Waves: What to Expect in July?

Meteorologist Wathiq Al-Salami summarized the weather conditions for the upcoming month of July as June comes to an end, which experienced several heat waves. He confirmed that forecasts indicate a single heat wave will occur during the second third of the coming month. Al-Salami explained: "Today, we will say goodbye to June with its weather, and tomorrow will mark the beginning of July. Predictions suggest a normal start with temperatures around average levels and no heat waves until Thursday, as the seasonal winds (Al-Bawareh) continue to blow." He added that "on Friday, there will be a noticeable increase in temperatures temporarily, before they decrease again at the beginning of next week." He pointed out that "overall, during the first third of July, the weather will be acceptable with no heat waves, while forecasts indicate a deepening of a quasi-tropical high-pressure system in the second third (heat wave). Recent updates based on U.S. weather model data remain stable in this regard, and it may be the only heat wave during the month."
