The Kurdish government described Friday as the hottest day of the year.
The temperature reached nearly 50 Celsius degrees in several areas, including the capital city of Erbil.
The Weza village's cool temperature has given it much popularity in which people from near and afar visit the area to take a respite from the burning big cities.
The village of Weza is surrounded by mountains, dense trees and greenery that one barely could see the houses.
No one in the village uses air conditioners. They say the natural cold wind that hits them every now and then is enough to avoid it.
"After five and six more days, we will have to wear jackets or we will get cold. Since this house is made of mud, it is very cold and you do not need air conditioning at all," Ali Wsu, a resident of Weza village, told Rudaw on Thursday.
The bulk of village houses have easy access to springheads at their doorsteps and they use it as an alternative to fridges to keep their products frozen.
Weza village is right on the Iranian border, making it the furthest village in Erbil province. A total of 80 families live there.
The main source of income for the villagers is agriculture in the spring, summer, and autumn. During the winter, due to excessive snowfall, a large number of the villagers leave their homes and move to warmer places until spring returns.
