- Jordan’s Public Security Directorate warns of severe weather moving in tonight.
- Thunderstorms, heavy rain, and possible hail expected, especially in western areas.

- Drivers and residents are urged to exercise caution and contact emergency services if needed.
The Public Security Directorate (PSD) has issued a warning to the public as unstable weather is expected to sweep across Jordan this evening.
Meteorologists predict thunderstorms, bursts of heavy rain, and potential hail, particularly affecting the Kingdom’s western regions.
The PSD also highlighted additional hazards, including blowing dust in desert areas and thick fog over mountainous regions and parts of the plains, which could sharply reduce visibility. Authorities cautioned about the heightened risk of flash floods in valleys and low-lying areas, urging residents to avoid streambeds and zones prone to water accumulation.
Drivers were specifically warned to be careful on the roads, as early rainfall can make surfaces slick, increasing the likelihood of skidding and accidents.
The Directorate encouraged citizens to contact the unified emergency number (911) whenever they require assistance or need to report urgent situations. Authorities emphasized vigilance and adherence to safety measures as the storm system moves through the Kingdom.
