Weather in Iraq is expected to remain generally calm across the central and southern regions on Friday, with partly cloudy skies at times, while the north is forecast to see more unsettled conditions. The outlook matters for several northern provinces where intermittent rain and thunder are expected to affect local conditions. Duhok, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, northern Mosul and Kirkuk are expected to see scattered showers of light to moderate intensity, accompanied by thunderstorms. Skies in those areas are forecast to be partly cloudy, with rain likely to fall intermittently through the day. Winds are expected to blow from the northwest at light to moderate strength. Temperatures are forecast to remain broadly unchanged, with no significant shift anticipated compared with current levels.
