WASM – Jordan will be affected by a new weather depression starting from the afternoon and evening of Tuesday, beginning in the northern regions of the Kingdom and gradually extending towards the center of the country and later during the morning of Wednesday reaching the southern regions. This weather depression is accompanied by heavy precipitation, strong winds, and a significant drop in temperatures due to its association with an Arctic air mass.
Snow will fall on areas exceeding 1000 meters above sea level, including "various peaks of high mountains in the Kingdom" starting from Wednesday dawn until midday hours, with snow accumulation expected on some peaks.
The high peaks exceeding 1000 meters are the peaks of Ajloun and Jerash, the high peaks of the capital Amman such as Tla' Al-Ali, Khalda, Sweileh, Dabuq, Al-Jubeiha, and Abu Nusair and the surrounding areas, and more densely over the heights of Karak, as well as the high mountains of Tafilah and Shobak.
Heavy rainfall is expected to occur and cause the formation of floods and transported floods in low-lying areas and valleys coinciding with strong winds. Weather is expected to stabilize Wednesday night with frost formation and freezing occurring especially in areas that will witness snowfall.
A severe cold wave will affect the Kingdom at the end of the week coinciding with dry eastern winds, but its effects will soon end at the beginning of next week as the depression wave returns, which will intensify significantly between January 27 and the beginning of February.
WASM issues a red alert level for weather conditions, especially in high mountains where snowfall is expected and which exceed 1000 meters above sea level.
WASM issues weather bulletins characterized by consistency and minimal changes without disruption due to its reliance on flexible and unique numerical model technology which is abbreviated as W.DMM technology. WASM was able to determine weather conditions for a long time exceeding a month using its advanced climate model developed within WASM.
