Jordan | This Week's Weather.. Cold Wintry Conditions with Scattered Rain Showers at Intervals and a "Marked" Rise in Temperatures Later

WASM – The Kingdom will be affected during the new week by typical winter conditions that are generally cold, becoming extremely cold in the mountains during the night and morning, with partially cloudy skies and scattered rain showers occurring intermittently throughout the days of the new week. It is expected that with the beginning of next week, there will be a "clear and noticeable" rise in temperatures due to the surge of warm winds from the western region of Saudi Arabia and northern Egypt and Libya.


Moist westerly winds starting from Tuesday..The Kingdom will be affected by moist and cold westerly winds driven from the Mediterranean Sea, accompanied by weak to moderately intense atmospheric depressions centered around the Cyprus basin. These moist westerly winds will cause cloud accumulation and scattered rain showers.

Increasing impact of moist westerly winds at the end of the week..The impact of moist westerly winds on various regions of western Kingdom will increase during the end of the week, with the Kingdom expected to be affected by a cold and moist air mass driven from southern Europe, which will increase the chances of scattered rainfall that may be more intense compared to mid-week.

Alert regarding the continuation of dense fog..
As a result of heavy rainfall in various regions during the previous period, and its fall in various areas of the Arabian Peninsula, this creates a high chance of dense morning fog as well as during night and evening periods in various regions of the Kingdom, particularly the mountains and eastern plains.

Significant and unseasonable rise in temperatures at the beginning of next week..
WASM Regional Center is monitoring a significant and unseasonable rise in temperatures, becoming several degrees above seasonal averages and possibly exceeding 20 degrees Celsius levels. However, that is not all; the temperature rise occurs during Al-Murabbaniyah, especially with the approach of a major weather system moving toward the region. Details will be issued progressively and continuously.
