“…Approximately, from east to west for a distance of approximately 1200 km [19,20]. The city of Baghdad is subject to the influence of the mid-latitude climate in winter, as Iraq becomes at the southern edge of the mid-latitude disturbances [21,22]. Thus, it is affected by the passage of several air depressions formed over the Mediterranean Sea, as well as the Sudan depressions and the amalgamated depression [23,24].…”

Droughts are generally considered to be a long-term climate risk, where persistent lack of rainfall dries up soil and vegetation, followed by lower water levels in rivers and lakes. Drought may worsen and continue for years in large areas, leaving negative consequences for people and nature. Data are taken by High Vegetation Cover (HVC) Total Precipitation (TP) and Temperature (T) from satellites recorded by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The choice years (1950-2022) over Iraqi stations extend between two latitudes (29.55°-37.225°) North of the equator and between two longitudes (38.455°-48.548°) East of the Corniche line. Otherwise, was studied the seasonal means of HVC, TP, and T also the monthly means of HVC, TP, and T, as well as the relationship between HVC, TP, and T. The results showed the largest amount of HVC occurred at Mosul station of the period (1950-2022) and less amount of HVC occurred in stations (Sinjar, Makhmour, Qaim, Anah, Haditha, Ramadi, Kerbela, Nukhib, Najaf, Diwaniyah, Amara, Samawah, Basrah and Kalis). It turns out that vegetation cover is present in all months. The largest amount of TP occurred at Amadiyah station and a smaller amount of HVC occurred at Najaf station in all months. The highest amount of rain was in March and the lowest amount of rain was in July and August. The largest of T occurred at Nasiriya station and less amount of T occurred at Amadiyah station. The highest temperature was in July and August, the lowest temperature was in January and February.

drought is considered one of the most important problems that still facing humanity despite the great scientific progress, arid and semi-arid form about a third of the land area, and no serious effort has been recorded to change this percentage. This study aims to calculate the drought index by using the De Martonne equation and determine the nature of the climate for the rainy months in ten selected meteorological stations in Iraq (Dohuk, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Mosul, Baghdad, Rutba, Karbala, Najaf, Nasiriyah, Basra) by using the data of (Temperature, Precipitation) for the period (1980-2022) also, this study aims to show the relationship between the drought index and the amount of precipitation fall and the temperature by calculating the correlation coefficient and to get simple linear regression equations by using sigma plot program. The results showed that the climate change between (extremely-humid, very-humid) during (January, February, and March) and (Mediterranean, semi-arid, very-humid) in (April) And it varies between (arid, semi-arid) in (May, and October) in the northern stations (Dohuk, Mosul, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah), and the climate varies just between (arid, semi-arid) in all rainy months in (Baghdad, Rutba, Karbala, Najaf, Nasiriyah, Basra) stations. The result also showed there was a strong linear correlation between drought index and precipitation Where the correlation coefficient values were recorded between (0.934-0.974), While the correlation coefficient relationship was strong inverse linear correlation where the correlation coefficient values were recorded between ((-0.940) - (-0.996)) in study stations.
