Director of Operations at ArabiaWeather Osama Tarifi told Roya Saturday that the Kingdom remains under the influence of the air depression, which has moved away from the country towards Iraq.
Tarifi added that cold weather conditions will prevail across Jordan on Saturday and light rain showers are expected to fall in the northern regions of Jordan.
He pointed out that the maximum temperatures in the capital, Amman, will reach around 5-6 degrees Celsius, and will drop to zero °C during the night.
He added that on Tuesday, March 15, the weather will be very cold, with a chance of snow showers in the north, center and south. However, Tarifi said that this remains unclear yet, and ArabiaWeather will continue to follow-up on whether it is going to snow or not.
