Description
In Iraq's fierce summers, a cooler that breathes water can beat the power-hungry box on the wall. Ali Al-Jubainawi and four co-authors graded that claim in 2026 for three cities, Baghdad, Basrah, and Mosul, hour by hour across the hot months. Their frame weds a world climate map to local comfort lines, then runs two tales: air through wet pads, or raw air blown in.
Basrah fared worst with plain blowing: six hours in a hundred sat in the comfort band. Wet pads lifted the share in all three cities, by two-fifths in Baghdad, over half in Basrah, and near a third in Mosul. The team pitch pads as a real, if climate-bound, answer for dry heat, with the sea-wet south the hard case.
