Unstable weather Wednesday afternoon in Jordan; flash floods warnings issued

Jordan will experience cold weather across most regions on Wednesday, with cloud cover at various altitudes. By the afternoon, the country will gradually be affected by a state of atmospheric instability.

Flash flood warnings issued

During the evening hours, cloud cover will increase, bringing scattered showers over northern, central, and parts of eastern Jordan. Some rain showers may be heavy at times, accompanied by thunder and hail.

Rainfall may extend to parts of the southwestern regions, while northwesterly winds will be moderate to occasionally active.

The Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) has warned of reduced visibility due to fog over highlands, potential flash floods in valleys and low-lying areas in the north, and frost formation in the early morning hours over high-altitude southern mountains.
