Weather forecasts indicate a slight improvement in temperatures across Jordan on Tuesday, though readings will remain below seasonal averages.
Cold conditions are expected to persist in most regions, while the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea, and Aqaba will experience relatively milder weather.
Light morning showers may occur in scattered parts of the north and center.
As night falls, temperatures will drop further, accompanied by dense fog in several areas and the potential for frost over high southern peaks.
Wednesday Outlook and Frost Warnings
Temperatures will continue a marginal rise on Wednesday without a significant shift in the overall weather pattern. The atmosphere will remain cold, with persistent morning fog.
Arrival of New Weather Instability Thursday
The kingdom is set to be impacted Thursday by an unstable weather system driven by a cold, moist air mass originating from a low-pressure center over the northern Mediterranean. This system will trigger a noticeable drop in temperatures and widespread cloud cover.
Rainfall is expected to begin in northern and eastern regions before spreading to central Jordan. By Thursday night, precipitation will intensify in the north, likely accompanied by thunderstorms and hail. Significant wind activity is also anticipated, which may kick up dust storms in the Badia regions.
Safety Advisories and Weekend Forecast
The Friday forecast remains cold and relatively unstable, with chances for scattered showers in western regions. The weather system is expected to gradually recede by Friday evening, though fog will remain a concern.
Authorities have issued the following warnings for the coming days:
- Flash Floods: Stay away from valleys and low-lying areas, particularly in the north, where heavy runoff is expected.
- Low Visibility: Exercise caution on highways due to thick fog or wind-blown dust in the desert.
- General Safety: Citizens are urged to take necessary precautions during travel and avoid areas prone to water accumulation.
