WASM- The Kingdom is affected by a condition of unseasonable atmospheric instability coinciding with a heat wave classified as "severe and short" compared to this time of year, which is expected to cause temperatures to rise to around 41 degrees Celsius in the capital and mountains and around 44-45 degrees Celsius in parts of the northern Jordan Valley, desert areas, and eastern Badia, with the heat wave beginning on Saturday afternoon and continuing until Monday for approximately 72 hours.
The heat wave is severe and short..
The heat wave is expected to begin during Saturday daytime in a severe manner and start to gradually break on Monday, with temperatures rising significantly compared to Friday, reaching 41 degrees Celsius in the capital and mountains coinciding with active wind gusts exceeding 40 km/hour, blowing from the southeast.
Atmospheric instability and risk of sudden sandstorms..
Caution should be exercised against the risk of sudden sandstorms expected over the Kingdom starting from Saturday evening and continuing until Monday morning, where an increase in thunderclouds and rainfall showers are expected in various areas coinciding with the heat wave—these are strange and unusual weather conditions for this time of year. Strong and sudden sandstorms are expected to coincide with wind gusts reaching 80 km/hour.
Atmospheric instability covers various areas..
Atmospheric instability covers various regions of the Kingdom, particularly the southwestern areas of the country as well as central areas and surrounding the Dead Sea, and also concentrated in the northeast of the Kingdom, coinciding with the formation of thunderclouds and scattered rainfall showers and strong winds raising dense dust.
Minimum temperatures that are exhausting on Saturday/Sunday night and Sunday/Monday night with high humidity..
Minimum temperatures are registering exhausting values settling around 32 degrees Celsius in the mountains and capital and most areas of the Kingdom coinciding with dusty atmosphere, dense clouds, and high humidity, which increases the unpleasant feeling of the weather..
Beginning of the heat wave retreat on Monday..
The hot air mass is expected to move away from the Kingdom and northwestern winds will intensify and cloud and dust quantities will gradually decrease from the atmosphere, with temperatures dropping noticeably, and this decline will become significant and tangible by mid-next week, attributed to the surge of a more moderate air mass in the lower atmospheric layers from the east Mediterranean region coinciding with a strong effect of northwestern winds.
