Jordan will be affected by a highly active weather depression on Tuesday and Wednesday accompanied by "very large" quantities of rain in all regions, especially the central areas of the kingdom. The rain is expected to be accompanied by strong thunderstorms, heavy hail, and active winds.
A "deep and highly active" cold front on Tuesday..
A strong and deep cold air mass is affecting the kingdom across different atmospheric layers, leading to the formation of thunderstorms, a significant drop in temperature, wind activity, and the fall of large quantities of rain in all regions, especially central areas of the kingdom which include major cities, the capital Amman, Aqaba city, and tourist areas and Petra.
The cold front is of polar origin, coinciding with a highly humid and subtropical air mass surging from the Arabian Sea, which is the reason for the expected large quantities of rain and the danger of widespread floods.
The weather depression is positioned southeast of Cyprus on Wednesday..
The weather depression is positioned southeast of Cyprus, with cold and heavy rainy conditions in the western regions of the kingdom, especially central and northern areas. Light snow is falling in the high southern mountains mixed with rain during dawn and early morning hours. Gradually, the depression's impact recedes during the night. Frost is expected to form in the high southern mountains during the night of Wednesday/Thursday, known as "black frost".
A new weather depression begins Saturday..
Temperatures are expected to rise on Thursday and during Friday daytime, then the kingdom will be affected by another weather depression beginning Friday/Saturday night with more rainfall amid cold conditions. The depression's impact is expected to continue until next Monday.
The weather conditions are expected to continue until the first half of the holy month, and despite the cessation of rain and the kingdom being affected by sharp temperature fluctuations during the previous period similar to what happens in spring, this is not considered an indicator of the end of the rainy season as reported by many media outlets.
WASM issues a red alert level for weather conditions on Tuesday due to floods and widespread floods affecting the kingdom, and it is advised to follow the warnings of the Jordanian Meteorological Department and the instructions of the Civil Defense, Public Security, and stay completely away from low-lying areas and valleys.
