Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Like other parts of the world, the Arab world is suffering these days from a severe heat wave that is longer than its predecessors, and the temperature in some Arab countries reached 50 degrees, which is greatly affecting the lives of people.
Many cases of eye inflammation, sunstroke, and other cases began to appear recently in Baghdad because of the high temperature, Sky News Arabia reported.
Iraq is usually affected by heat waves for several days, then the temperature returns to normal levels, but current expectations indicate that the heat wave sweeping Iraq will continue this month and next month.
The temperature reached 50 degrees Celsius on Monday and Tuesday in different Iraqi governorates, causing a negative impact on the lives of Iraqis, especially with the continued power outages.
Although power production improved with the arrival of the new government of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, high temperatures remain a serious problem.
