Jordan | Low pressure system and severe cold weather, rare for the season, at the beginning and middle of next week

WASM- The Kingdom is affected in a "very rare manner compared to this time of year" by extremely cold weather conditions that will coincide with high humidity levels and intermittent rain on Sunday and Monday of the coming week. Winter precipitation on the peaks of the high southern mountains cannot be ruled out.

Temperatures will approach freezing across a wide range of mountains and plains during the nights of the coming week, especially after the expected rainfall, noting that the impact of the extremely cold weather will persist in the region, intensifying at times and weakening at others, coinciding with the succession of atmospheric lows in the region during the coming period.

Weekend | Weather conditions temporarily stable..
Weather conditions will temporarily stabilize over the weekend following the latest wave of rain that affected wide areas of the northern, central, and eastern parts of the Kingdom, with some areas recording abundant rainfall, particularly in the west-central and northern regions. The rainy season is showing excellent performance in the northern areas and west-central Kingdom and a wide range of the eastern parts of the country, while it is recording below-average rainfall in the south of the Kingdom.

The atmospheric low begins gradually on Sunday evening and intermittent rain |
Extremely cold polar winds are being pushed across the north of the European continent and towards the eastern Mediterranean, causing an atmospheric low to form east of Cyprus on Sunday, with intermittent rain falling across the entire western range of the country, including the southwest of the Kingdom. Heavy rainfall at times or coinciding with winter precipitation on the high mountain peaks in the southwest of the Kingdom cannot be ruled out.

As a result of the position of the polar air mass over the eastern Mediterranean and northern Syria, rainfall opportunities are expected to continue over the western Kingdom during Monday daytime, with weather getting increasingly cold and temperatures approaching freezing on mountains and plains during the Monday/Tuesday night.

Succession of atmospheric lows affecting the Kingdom..
Weather conditions will remain very cold during the middle of the coming week with continued chances of precipitation in various areas. As a result of the continued push of part of this polar air mass across the Mediterranean towards the Kingdom and the Levant, the extreme cold will temporarily ease by the end of next week before another cold and heavily rainy atmospheric low is expected to affect the country by the end of the month and the beginning of December.

The country is expected to be increasingly affected by extremely cold weather and heavy precipitation during the first half of December based on the data from WASM's regional climate model, which continues to record exceptionally accurate results, particularly in detecting extremely cold weather conditions and rainy situations in the region, though with some errors in determining the precise timing of these weather conditions.

Data from WASM's regional climate model continues to indicate a "long" and extremely cold rainy season for the region, with monthly bulletins to be issued successively.
