How hot is it in Iraq during October?
Expect heat in Iraq during October. The temperature hits about 35℃ during the day, falling away to a balmy 24℃ 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 October?
On average, in October you'll see rain on just one day in the month. In other words, you shouldn't see any of the wet stuff. There's a small chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in Iraq during October?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in October. With moderate humidity, any breeze will have a very welcome cooling effect.
