Umm Qsar

#1 Postby Cookiely » Thu Jan 24, 2008 8:21 am

I have a friend who was just deployed to Camp Bucca in Iraq. It is near Umm Qsar in Iraq on the Kuwait border. I've tried without success (my hands are numb) to find information on the weather and current conditions in the area. Can you help find me a link? Where does the time go. It seems like yesterday I held this small baby in my arms and kissed his sweet face and now he is a commander in the USAF security. I'm praying the next six months past swiftly and he comes home safe.

Only a few weather stations are up and running in Iraq and only one in Kuwait. Wunderground is your best hope for conditions.

Yeah, I'd use the same link HenkL provided. Look for Abadan, Iran (30mi NE - ICAO: OIAA) -- that's probably your best, representative observation for Umm Qsar. Next best would be Basrah, Iraq (35mi NNW - ICAO: ORMM)
