⚠ Dust storms can still occur in November, across the southern and central plains between Baghdad and Basra. These reduce visibility sharply. They ground domestic flights. They fill the air with fine particulate. If one develops, stay indoors with windows sealed until it passes. This typically takes a few hours.
⚠ Flash flooding poses a risk in Kurdistan's mountain gorges during heavy rain. November's average rainfall is light. When rain does arrive in the mountains, narrow wadis and gorge floors can fill rapidly with dangerous runoff. Do not hike gorge floors during or immediately after rainfall. Check conditions with local guides before setting out on mountain trails.
