WASM- Scattered and limited thunderclouds are expected to increase, affecting various regions of Jordan during the influence of the strong heat wave starting from Monday and continuing until Wednesday, especially during evening periods.
The thunderclouds will result in light and limited rainfall and active dust and sand-stirring winds, but only temporarily during the influence of the thunderclouds. These thunderclouds will be more intense in desert areas.
The cause of these thunderclouds is an increase in humidity levels coinciding with a significant rise in temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius in wide areas. This helps hot air rise to the upper and cooler atmospheric layers, leading to condensation and cloud formation.
Seasonal winds affect the Arabian Peninsula region, particularly its southern and western parts including Mecca, which causes heavy rainfall and contributes to a significant rise in temperatures in Jordan and northern Arabia.
A high pressure system affects Syria and western Iraq, while a thermal low pressure system affects extreme northern Saudi Arabia and Egypt. This pushes very hot air directly toward Jordan, causing the strong heat wave.
The heat wave will gradually recede on Friday, the first day of Eid Al-Adha, with temperatures dropping noticeably
