This research aims to reveal: temporal and spatial changes in the change of drought and humidity in Iraq for the period (1988_2020).
The study showed that changes in climate characteristics are responsible for determining the degrees of drought. The study concluded that Iraq in general is dominated by dry and semi-arid climates, except for the northern regions.
The study also concluded that the first cycle (1988-1998) was the wettest cycle, while the second cycle was the driest.
The statistical analysis of the results of the equations shows the general trend towards increasing drought levels during the comparison between cycles and their averages, with a sharp variation in the temporal and spatial change rates.
