Jordan continues to be impacted Sunday by a cold, moist air mass associated with a recent low-pressure system, causing temperatures to drop significantly across the country.
The forecast calls for cold, overcast, and rainy conditions in most regions. Rainfall is expected to be heavy at intervals, particularly during the morning hours in northern and central Jordan, as well as the southwestern highlands.
Sunday: Thunderstorms and High Winds
Meteorologists warn that precipitation may be accompanied by thunder and hail. Brisk western winds are expected to persist, with gusts reaching 50 to 60 km/h (31 to 37 mph), likely triggering dust storms in the desert "Badia" regions.
The high in Amman is expected to reach only 9°C (48°F) today, falling to a low of 6°C (43°F) tonight. Rainfall intensity is predicted to gradually weaken as the night progresses.
Monday: New Low-Pressure System Arrives
A fresh low-pressure system, centered east of Cyprus, will reach the kingdom on Monday, renewing weather instability.
Residents can expect a return of cold, cloudy weather with rain spreading across the north and center, eventually reaching parts of the east and southwest.
Forecasters anticipate periods of heavy rain, thunderstorms, and hail in the northern, central, and southwestern districts. Western winds will intensify further on Monday, with powerful gusts reaching between 60 and 70 km/h (37 to 43 mph), significantly reducing visibility in the Badia due to dust. Overnight temperatures are expected to dip to 5°C (41°F).
Tuesday and Wednesday: Gradual Clearing and Fog Risks
The weather will begin to stabilize on Tuesday. While daytime temperatures will remain cold in most areas, conditions will be mild in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba. Scattered light showers may persist in northern and central areas during the morning.
By Tuesday night, clouds will clear, leading to much colder conditions. Authorities have issued a warning regarding thick fog formation over many areas, which may severely impact horizontal visibility.
Wednesday will see a slight rise in temperatures, though the general climate will remain cold. High-altitude regions and mountain peaks are expected to see heavy fog Wednesday night as temperatures drop sharply under partly cloudy skies.
