Jordanians brace for sharp drop in temperatures on Friday

The Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) reported that on Friday, temperatures will drop significantly.

Additionally, very cold conditions will prevail, and the skies will be partly to mostly cloudy. Light rain showers are expected in the western regions of the kingdom.

The JMD also indicated the possibility of light snow showers for a short period over the high mountain peaks in the north and south, sometimes mixed with rain. Westerly winds will be active at times, leading to dust storms in parts of the eastern and southeastern regions of the Kingdom.

The JMD warned of reduced horizontal visibility due to fog formation over mountainous areas, as well as dust caused by active winds in the southeastern and eastern regions. There is also a risk of frost and freezing late at night over high mountain elevations, in addition to the danger of slippery roads due to wet conditions.

On Saturday, temperatures will drop further as the polar air mass deepens, making the weather even colder. Rainfall will continue in the north and center of the Kingdom, as well as in some eastern and southwestern areas.

There is also a chance of light and intermittent snow showers over high mountain elevations. Westerly winds will remain active, with strong gusts reaching up to 60km/h, causing dust storms in desert areas. By nightfall, precipitation will weaken, and wind speeds will decrease, leading to extremely cold conditions.

As for Sunday, temperatures will continue to drop, with very cold and partly cloudy weather prevailing. There will be a slight chance of light rain showers in the western parts of the Kingdom, which may fall as light snow over high elevations. Northwesterly winds will be active, with occasional strong gusts. At night, the weather will be bitterly cold, with a chance of light snow showers over mountainous areas.

On Monday, the weather will remain very cold, with partly to mostly cloudy skies and a chance of light morning rain showers, which may fall as snow over the highlands. Northwesterly winds will be moderate, occasionally becoming active.
