The Jordan Meteorological Department reported that Jordan will experience continued atmospheric instability on Monday, with warm weather in most areas and relatively hot conditions in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba. Clouds will appear at various altitudes.

During the afternoon, rain showers are expected across the country, some heavy, accompanied by thunder and hail in certain areas. This could lead to floods and increased water levels in valleys and low-lying areas. Winds will be northeasterly, occasionally becoming moderate northwesterly, and may raise dust, particularly in desert regions.
