Jordan | An extended rainy period begins Wednesday and intensifies at the end of the week, affecting various regions

WASM- The Kingdom is expected to be affected by the first rainy condition starting from Wednesday and continuing "for long days...exceeding 6 days" with its intensity gradually increasing, resulting from the positioning of a cold and humid air mass from eastern Europe towards the eastern Mediterranean, coinciding with the presence of a warm and highly humid air mass advancing from the Red Sea and humid subtropical regions.

Sunday through Tuesday | Warm daytime and cold nights..
The weather will be stable from Sunday through Tuesday with the appearance of local cumulus clouds in limited parts of the south and east of the Kingdom, and with evening hours on Tuesday the rainy condition begins from scattered parts of the southeast of the Kingdom in the form of scattered thunderclouds.

Wednesday | Beginning of the rainy condition..
The rainy condition starts on Wednesday from a very wide and almost comprehensive range of southern and eastern regions and desert areas, gradually extending towards other regions during the evening and night, rain will be in the form of heavy thundershowers in some areas coinciding with active winds and in the form of successive waves of heavy showers separated by time periods with partly cloudy and turbulent weather coinciding with wind activity.

Thursday | Extension of rainy condition towards western regions..
The rainy weather condition intensifies on Thursday with the beginning of the Kingdom being affected by a cold and humid air mass advancing from eastern Europe and the beginning of a low-pressure system formation towards the coasts of Lebanon, which leads to thunderstorm rainfall in various areas concentrated in the north, center, and western part of the Kingdom.

Weekend and until the beginning of next week | Intensification of rainy condition effect..
The effect of the rainy condition intensifies clearly and noticeably and covers various regions of the Kingdom including desert areas with the country being affected by a low-pressure system positioned south of Cyprus accompanied by a humid air mass, rain will be in the form of waves of successive heavy showers from time to time and not in the form of regular and continuous rain.

Rainy condition with regional impact |
The rainy condition covers various regions of the Arab world, especially northern Egypt, the Levant, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan, as well as northwestern Saudi Arabia especially the Al-Jouf region, Tabuk, Medina, Makkah, and Hail, it also includes Iraq and Kuwait at the same time, and this condition results from a dual effect of a humid air mass advancing from subtropical regions and a cold and humid air mass advancing from eastern Europe towards the eastern Mediterranean (meaning it gained humidity from the Mediterranean Sea).

WASM Regional Center is unique in long-range and high-precision weather forecasts for various regions of the Arab world and determining weather conditions by date and closely similar geographical location, through the use of climate model data that we have developed which works using flexible statistical calibration similarity periods.

WASM Regional Center monitors an early winter storm that will affect Greece after the rainy condition..
WASM Regional Center monitors the formation of a strong and rainy storm over Greece, Turkey, and the eastern Mediterranean after the expected rainy condition, and it is expected that this storm will advance rapidly towards the Levant region at the end of the first week of November to affect "record-breaking and very early" winter weather conditions with details to follow..

Therefore, and according to the weather conditions that have started occurring in the region and for several rainy seasons, the information that talked about climate changes leading to drought and reduced rainfall in Jordan and neighboring countries is incorrect information and not issued through correct scientific methods, and WASM Regional Center has proven that climate changes in the region cause different weather conditions which increase rainfall rates and extreme weather rather than drought waves that have been absent from the region for 10 years.

WASM climate model data achieves exceptional accuracy results in the region
