The meteorological team began taking measurements and conducting field monitoring. Mr. Ahmed added that the station recorded a water discharge exceeding 200 m3 per second at the center's monitoring site on the Houran Bridge, located on the Ramadi-Haditha road.
He explained that the discharge rate subsequently decreased gradually, reaching approximately 50 m3 per second at 4:00 PM on April 28, 2026. He noticed that the station's staff continues to monitor and record the new flash flood wave and analyze its data precisely.
