Jordan | Weather Alert: Significant Rise and Fluctuation in Temperatures in Coming Days with High Chances of Seasonal Illnesses

WASM – The Kingdom is affected by "early" autumn weather fluctuations that are unusual for this time of year, with temperatures varying sharply between a clear rise on Thursday and Friday, followed by a significant drop at the beginning and middle of next week, coinciding with weather disturbances and a weak atmospheric instability condition at the beginning and middle of next week.

Temperatures rise noticeably and significantly on Thursday and Friday, then drop sharply and substantially on Saturday and Sunday, coinciding with weather disturbances and a weak atmospheric instability condition. WASM advises complete caution regarding weather conditions and the "significant" temperature fluctuations, which greatly increase the chances of sudden seasonal illnesses. This can be addressed by following health habits recommended by doctors, consuming more healthy food rich in vitamins, being cautious of cold weather during the night by wearing warm clothes, and monitoring weather bulletins.

Extreme temperature fluctuations are responsible for the increased likelihood of seasonal illnesses that occur during transitional seasons, which can also sometimes put pressure on medical sectors. Warm daytime temperatures or rising heat during this period do not reflect summer weather conditions, but rather changeable autumn weather conditions that warrant caution, as temperatures quickly drop during the evening and night or on the following day.

Caution regarding large daily temperature differences|
Due to the nature of the air mass expected to be less humid and coinciding with sparse cloud cover, this greatly increases the large temperature difference between night and day in the coming days. The daily temperature difference is expected to exceed 10-12 degrees Celsius, with this difference occurring rapidly in the late afternoon period until the early evening hours, which greatly increases the chance of seasonal illnesses.

Weak atmospheric instability condition at the beginning of next week|
The expected temperature rise is due to the extension of the "Red Sea low-pressure system," and because this coincides with the intrusion of cold air in the upper and middle layers of the atmosphere, this results in instability of the warm and hotter air present in the lower layers of the atmosphere as it rises to the cold upper layers. Cloud clouds accumulate in some limited areas of the north, center, and east of the Kingdom with thunderstorm rainfall.

The occurrence of these weather conditions is early compared to this time of year, as these weather conditions typically occur during the middle of October, and looking back at the archive, this appears to be the case. However, it seems that the early autumn cold weather during the past two weeks has caused an early beginning of these weather conditions.

A moderate autumn air mass renewing over the Kingdom at the beginning of October|
It is expected that these weather fluctuations will recede quickly during the middle and end of next week, then a renewal of slightly cooler air intrusion during the beginning of October and starting from the middle of next week gradually, with chances of rainfall in some periods and weather conditions similar to the previous period.
