Iraq faces many challenges posed by climate change, such as high temperature, lack of rain, water scarcity, salinity of land, and the increase in sand and dust storms and the resulting disasters, which impede the development required to limit potential future extreme phenomena. The current research deals with the study of the Al-Najaf plateau located within the Latitude (31°-32°) North, and Longitude (43° 30′-45°)East. The aim of the study is to find the heat index experienced by the region and the possibility of addressing its effects in advance. The Landsat 8 aerial satellite image of the region of interest is downloaded using the USGS website. The GIS program is used for the purpose of processing the aerial image, where it is first converted into a radioactive image and then into a thermal image bearing the value of the heat index. The radiological aerial image shows that the region of interest suffers from radiation ranging between 7.5 W/m2 as a minimum and 9.5 W/m2 as a maximum, while the thermal aerial image indicated that the temperature/heat index ranged between 11 °C as a minimum and 26 °C as a maximum. It requires decision-makers to pay close attention to the problem of global warming and high temperatures, as the current research provides the value of the heat index for the Al-Najaf plateau in order to be adopted in developing effective solutions that help reduce the impact of increasing temperatures rates.
