WASM - The atmospheric low pressure system is positioned over the island of Cyprus and is deepening in conjunction with the influx of a cold air mass with high humidity and rare seasonal occurrence, causing winter conditions and large amounts of rain in wide areas equivalent in some areas to what falls during an entire winter month!.
In detail, a "deep and highly effective" cold air front pushes into the Kingdom at dawn on Wednesday and heavy thunderstorms fall in wide areas coinciding with hail and strong winds, with heavy rain also mixed with snow showers on the peaks of the high southern mountains.
Heavy thunderstorm rainfall continues throughout Wednesday and in most areas, with strong winds and thunderstorms occurring in some areas at times.
The atmospheric low pressure system continues and intensifies its impact on central and northern parts of the Kingdom on Thursday..
The atmospheric low pressure system continues on Thursday, but its impact is limited to the north and center of the Kingdom and intensifies further on those areas due to coinciding with the influx of westerly to southwesterly winds with high humidity and high atmospheric activity in the middle and upper layers of the atmosphere.
It is expected that the chances of torrents and transported floods will increase in central and northern parts of the Kingdom, and north of the Dead Sea area in particular during the morning and afternoon hours of Thursday.
The atmospheric low pressure system begins to weaken and fill in the evening of Thursday, with rainfall withdrawing gradually from all areas on the night of Thursday/Friday.
A warm high pressure system dominates the Kingdom's atmosphere over the weekend..
A warm high pressure system dominates the Kingdom's atmosphere at the end of the week, temperatures rise to return to their seasonal averages and the weather will be generally warm during the day and remains cold at night, and stable conditions are expected to continue next week with chances of scattered thunderstorms in some areas during the middle of next week.
A wide-ranging rainy weather condition during the Eid period..
It appears that the rainy season is still continuing with strength, as WASM Regional Center monitors the return of heavy rain and cold weather during the Eid period and after Eid and over wide areas as a result of the influx of cold and unseasonable air masses from the northeast of the European continent towards the eastern Mediterranean basin and the Levant region, which will cause more heavy and unseasonable rain over wide areas.
Most areas of the Kingdom recorded a strong and unusual rainy season, and the current rainy season was characterized by its early and strong start and late and strong end as well, and WASM Regional Center predicted through its climate model a strong rainy season.
Strong climate changes affecting Jordan and the Middle East..
The Kingdom has been recording for several years strong and unusual rainy seasons as a result of sharp climate changes, which affect at the same time wide areas of the Middle East, and these climate changes are expected to intensify and rainy seasons to intensify over the coming years.
WASM Regional Center expects the Kingdom to record "unprecedented" rainy seasons over the coming years as a result of intensifying climate changes, and it is also expected that heavy rainfall will fall unseasonably and during dry months and more scientific studies and reports will be issued clarifying the scientific reasons for that.
WASM advises to pay "close" attention from local media outlets and the incorrect information they publish about climate changes in Jordan, due to their misunderstanding of climate changes.
