Snowfall, freezing temperatures expected in Jordan’s Highlands

Recent satellite images indicate the continued advancement of rain-bearing clouds over northern and central Jordan, keeping the weather cold, cloudy, and intermittently rainy, with heavy hail showers in some areas.

In the early morning hours, snow showers remain possible over the high mountain peaks in northern, central, and southern Jordan, as well as the northeastern desert highlands. Some accumulation is possible, particularly in the peaks of Jerash and Ajloun.

Low clouds will touch the surface, leading to fog formation over the high mountain areas at times.
