Editor (Time.news): Welcome to Time.news, where we explore the latest developments across various fields. Today, we’re joined by Dr. Hana Al-Mansur, a leading meteorologist and weather expert. Dr. Al-Mansur, thank you for being with us today!
Dr. Hana Al-Mansur: Thank you for having me! It’s a pleasure to be here.
Editor: Let’s dive right in. The Meteorology Authority recently announced details about the weather conditions across Iraq. Can you provide an overview of what we can expect in the coming days?
Dr. Al-Mansur: Absolutely! The forecast indicates a mix of weather patterns over the next week. Generally, we’re expecting mild to moderate temperatures during the day, with some regions experiencing cooler nights. There may also be some scattered rain showers, particularly in the northern and western parts of the country.
Editor: Interesting! Rain is always a welcome sight, especially after the intense heat of summer. How significant are these rain showers going to be?
Dr. Al-Mansur: The rainfall will vary by region, but according to our models, we could see a cumulative effect over a few days, which could be beneficial for agriculture and water sources. However, coastal and southern areas might remain drier during this period.

Dr. Al-Mansur: Urban areas often face exacerbated air quality issues, especially if there are dust storms.

They should remain vigilant, though, as weather changes can lead to sudden fluctuations.
