Jordan is transitioning into a period of noticeable weather stability on Saturday following a stretch of volatile winter weather.
According to the latest meteorological data, temperatures are set for a gradual upward trend starting this week, though a cold "winter breath" will continue to dominate the general climate, particularly during the night and early morning hours.
Clear Skies and Regional Contrasts
Maps provided by the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) indicate that cold conditions will prevail across most governorates during the day.
However, the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and the Gulf of Aqaba remain insulated from the cold, enjoying "pleasant" temperatures accompanied by scattered low-level clouds.
Moderate easterly winds are expected to remain active, which may increase the sensation of dry cold in open areas.
Fog and Frost Warnings
Despite the stabilizing skies, official bulletins included explicit warnings for motorists and farmers. The JMD emphasized the danger of significantly reduced visibility due to dense fog banks expected to blanket mountain highlands and plains during late-night and early-morning hours.
The "specter of frost" also remains a concern in the forecast, particularly over high mountain peaks.
Authorities have urged farmers to take necessary precautions to protect vulnerable crops from the freezing overnight temperatures.
Multi-Day Temperature Outlook
Looking ahead, a slight rise in temperatures is expected Sunday, with the warming trend continuing through Tuesday. Winds are forecasted to shift to an active southeasterly direction on Sunday and Monday, which may stir dust in some desert regions.
Temperature data on Saturday showed a daytime high of 11°C (52°F) in eastern Amman. In contrast, temperatures in the Sharah Mountains dropped to -1°C (30°F) overnight, highlighting the sharp thermal disparity between the kingdom's diverse terrains.
Meteorologists describe this stable stretch as a "climatic breather" before any potential new weather systems arrive in the coming days.
