The Meteorological Forecast Department of the Iraqi General Authority for Meteorology and Seismology issued an aerial update today, Wednesday, indicating the formation of cumulonimbus clouds with thunderstorms in the atmosphere of Najaf Ashraf, accompanied by varying intensity rains and downdrafts that may raise dust locally.

The authority said in a statement received by "Video News Agency" that the weather influences are moving towards Babel, southern Baghdad, Diyala, and Wasit, with ongoing chances of thunderstorms in areas of the center and south until Thursday morning, as well as sporadic thunderstorm rains in some northern cities.

The authority urged citizens to exercise caution regarding downdrafts and thunder strikes, as they may cause dust to rise and reduce horizontal visibility.
