Jordan | Heavy rainfall and strong cold winds on Sunday and Monday

WASM - The Kingdom will be affected by a "deep" atmospheric low pressure system accompanied by large quantities of rain in the western part of the Kingdom, including the southwestern highlands. This is expected to also cause strong winds and stormy gusts exceeding 75 km/hour. The atmospheric low will continue until Tuesday dawn, and its effects will gradually recede afterwards.

Details..
The impact of the cold front accompanying the deep atmospheric low will begin in the late morning hours of Sunday in the northern regions, gradually extending to the center of the Kingdom and the capital in the afternoon of Sunday, then to the remaining regions during Sunday evening. The cold front is expected to cause stormy wind gusts, strong winds, heavy thunderstorms, and possible thunderstorms in parts of the northern and central regions of the Kingdom, leading to the formation of flash floods and flash flood torrents.

Dense quantities of heavy rain clouds are being driven from the east of the Mediterranean towards the Kingdom and Palestine during Sunday evening until Monday night, coinciding with a significant drop in temperature and strong winds. Large quantities of rain are expected to fall during this period as a result of cloud density, high humidity, and coinciding with cold weather.

Temperatures are expected to drop below 9 degrees Celsius in the capital and mountains during Sunday evening and Monday, coinciding with heavy rain and strong winds. Therefore, we advise wearing heavy winter clothes and staying away from flood-prone areas and water accumulation sites.

Orange Alert Level..
The WASM Regional Center issues an orange alert level for weather conditions on Sunday and Monday, particularly due to the danger of flash flood formation, wadi flow, strong winds, and dust storms in desert areas, and a significant drop in temperature.
