Erbil climate: monthly averages

Everything below is collected in one spot so you do not have to cross-check Erbil climate: monthly averages by hand. The gap between Jan and Jul is 28.5 C here: 6.8 C against 35.3 C. No month dominates: the wettest is Mar at 1.62 mm/day, the driest Aug at 0.03 mm/day. Taken together that is roughly 284 mm of rain a year for the grid cell. The build runs on a schedule and caches the last good response, so the numbers stay put even when the upstream API is having a bad day.

What the Erbil climate table shows

Values are multi-decadal climatological averages for the 36.1912, 44.0094 grid cell, not a single year. Rain is the daily mean, so a value of 2.00 mm/day is about 60 mm across a 30-day month. Averages smooth over extremes, so use them for planning rather than for what to pack for next Tuesday.

Frequently asked questions

Does Erbil get the same every year?

Close to it. Averaging decades smooths variation, so treat these as typical rather than guaranteed.
