In order to verify some of these methods, climate data on relative humidity (monthly and annual) were used for four months (June-July-August-September), and statistically linked (Pearson correlation equation) with rainy season rainfall. The results showed that the statistical relationship is weak and insignificant between the two variables. However, in general, the northern stations (Mosul-Kirkuk-Khanaqin) recorded inverse relationships. While most of the southern and central stations (where the dry desert and semi-arid climate is prevalent) showed direct correlations, meaning that the increase in summer humidity indicates the possibility of an increase in rain (autumn, winter and spring).
