How hot is it in Iraq during April?
The temperature reaches around 32℃ during the daytime in April, falling away to 21℃ at night. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in Iraq during April?
On average, there will be 2 rainy days during the month, amounting to 15.7mm in total. That's almost nothing at all, therefore rain isn't something we think you need to consider. There's a small chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in Iraq during April?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a gentle breeze that increases to moderate at times during April. With moderate humidity, any breeze will have a welcome cooling effect.
