Jordan: Dense thunderstorms over eastern desert areas Tuesday evening and Wednesday

WASM – Weather will be stable Tomorrow, Tuesday, during the day, clouds will increase starting from evening hours and night will be rainy over the eastern regions of Jordan, especially Al-Ruwaished and the surrounding eastern desert areas, due to the surge of warm and humid winds coming from the Arabian Gulf and the Arabian Sea across the Arabian Peninsula and their meeting with a cold air mass coming from the west and north.

Dense thunderstorm clouds will concentrate over the eastern regions of Jordan and cause heavy thunderstorm rainfall accompanied by hail showers and active to strong winds at times, but the impact will be weak and limited on the rest of the central and northern regions, as the effect is limited to scattered cumulus clouds and limited rain showers.

WASM will issue an orange alert level for the eastern regions of Jordan due to heavy rainfall at times, but the alert will reach only the yellow level for the rest of the northern and central regions due to the expected limited rainfall showers.

This weather condition will continue until Wednesday evening, then the weather will gradually stabilize afterwards and cold weather will persist generally over all regions, especially mountainous and desert areas.

WASM expects these weather conditions to recur next Saturday on some areas, and more details will be issued over the next two days.

The region has been affected by rainy weather conditions with heavy rainfall for several days that have caused widespread flooding on the Arabian Peninsula, and rainfall amounts reached 170 mm in a few hours in northern Kuwait in the Sabria area, making it one of the strongest weather cases according to the climate archive.

WASM is monitoring the activity of Mediterranean low-pressure systems after December 10 coinciding with a significant drop in temperatures due to the surge of extremely cold winds towards Eastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean basin and a gradual rise in atmospheric pressure over wide parts of Europe and North Africa.
