The latest data from the Iraqi Meteorological Organization indicates a noticeable dip in temperatures across key regions, signaling the gradual transition from the summer heat to milder autumn conditions. Cities such as Baghdad, Basra, and Mosul have all recorded an average temperature decrease of 3 to 5 degrees Celsius over the past week, a trend expected to continue as seasonal shifts take hold. Meteorologists attribute this change to the movement of colder air masses originating from the north, which are predicted to bring more stable weather patterns in the coming weeks.

Key highlights from the recent weather analysis include:

  • Decreasing daytime highs, particularly in central and northern Iraq
  • Increased winds from the northwest spreading cool air
  • Higher chances of early morning fog over agricultural plains
  • Lower humidity contributing to more comfortable evenings
