The meteorologist Wathiq Al-Salami confirmed today, Friday, that seasonal models and climate anomaly models indicate the possibility of an atypical rainy season in Iraq, with rainfall amounts higher than the general averages.

Al-Salami stated, in a post followed by the "Video News Agency," that the weather indicators, despite a relative delay in the start of the rainy season, still promise a plentiful rainy season across the country.

He added that the impact of the El Niño phenomenon and the Arctic Oscillation shifting towards the positive phase are factors supporting the predictions of a promising rainy season.

Al-Salami pointed out that the period from October 27 to November 15 is considered one of the most significant upcoming weather periods for Iraq.
