Frosty nights ahead as Siberian cold wave looms over Jordan
Jordan will experience a noticeable drop in temperatures starting tonight, bringing significantly colder weather, particularly during the early hours of Monday morning – per ArabiaWeather’s forecasts.
Residents are urged to dress appropriately for the conditions, particularly schoolchildren and the elderly, as the cold intensifies. Light, scattered rain showers may persist, with low clouds contributing to dense fog over mountain peaks, especially in southern regions.
Siberian Cold Mass impact
A Siberian cold air mass is approaching the country, bringing temperatures 8-10°C below seasonal averages. Monday’s daytime weather will be extremely cold, with partly cloudy to overcast skies and the potential for light rain in some areas. Winds will be northwesterly to westerly and moderate, with occasional gusts.
Plummeting Temperatures Monday Night
The Siberian air mass will deepen its grip on Jordan Monday night, leading to freezing temperatures in many regions. The Sharah Mountains, as well as parts of the eastern plains and desert areas, may see temperatures near 0°C.
Rainfall may turn into freezing rain in high-altitude areas, and western winds will persist.
Frost likely Tuesday night
Clear skies and calm winds on Tuesday night increase the likelihood of widespread frost formation, especially in mountainous areas, the eastern plains, and the desert. ArabiaWeather advises caution when using heaters to avoid safety risks and encourages residents to prepare for the extreme cold.
Fog formation is also expected in southern highlands, potentially affecting visibility.
Authorities warn of icy conditions in mountainous areas, urging residents to take precautions to stay safe during this unusually cold weather pattern.
