WASM – The Kingdom will be affected by a prolonged rainy weather condition starting Sunday and continuing until at least Thursday, but in the form of atmospheric instability on Sunday and Monday characterized by scattered and thundery precipitation coinciding with active winds and a feeling of cold weather, then it will transform into a low-pressure system starting from Tuesday evening.
In detail, the weather condition begins on Sunday evening in the form of thundery showers of scattered rain over various regions, particularly in the central and eastern parts of the Kingdom. These showers will be heavy at times and for short periods, specifically on Monday coinciding with active winds and dust raised to a limited extent, especially since most areas of the Kingdom experienced heavy rainfall during the previous weeks coinciding with the appearance of clouds touching the mountains.
The weather condition intensifies on Tuesday, especially in the evening and night hours until Wednesday daytime, due to the formation of a low-pressure system south of Cyprus Island. Heavy thundery rain showers will fall in some areas and the chances of flash floods and transported floods forming in low-lying areas and valleys increase.
Thundery rain showers will gradually transition to scattered rainfall on Wednesday coinciding with the Kingdom being affected by a cold and humid air mass accompanied by a low-pressure system positioned near the Lebanese coast, and the impact of these winter, rainy, and humid conditions will continue in a scattered manner until at least Thursday evening.
In summary, the weather condition will be in the form of thundery rain showers in scattered areas on Sunday and Monday (atmospheric instability) that will be heavy at times, transitioning from Tuesday evening into heavy precipitation over more widespread areas, then becoming a moderately intense cold winter condition from Wednesday evening until Thursday evening.
WASM issues a yellow alert level for weather conditions on Sunday and Monday, so it is possible to conduct normal daily life, but staying away from low-lying areas and valleys. The alert then escalates to orange from Tuesday evening until Wednesday evening, where precipitation will be heavy, so caution must be taken from water accumulations, floods, and strong winds.
In the long term, weather is expected to stabilize after the 20th-21st of the month with rising temperatures and the expectation of a short warm wave preceding successive cold and winter low-pressure systems starting after the 24th-25th of the month accompanied by large amounts of rain and early winter conditions.
Jordan is affected by clear climatic changes, which resulted in a "significant" increase in rainfall rates in recent years, and an increase in the number of low-pressure systems affecting during rainy seasons. In some seasons, they reached the level of "doubling," which are unprecedented climatic events due to sharp climate changes occurring in the North Atlantic, resulting in warm and dry waves in the European continent.
