Jordan| Weekly Bulletin.. Sunny and stable weather with gradual atmospheric disturbances beginning late in the week

WASM- The Kingdom is affected by a high-pressure system that brings stable and sunny conditions with occasional activity of dry winds, especially in the morning period. The weather will be cold at night and in the morning and warm during the day, with expectations of significant temperature differences, which necessitates caution regarding atmospheric conditions and commitment to always wearing light winter clothing.

Winds will increase in activity during the middle and end of the week, and medium and high clouds will also increase at the end of the week, indicating new atmospheric disturbances expected to begin gradually, resulting in rain showers in limited areas.

A strong high-pressure system is expected to dominate large parts of the European continent starting from the end of this week, which is expected to push new cold air masses towards Turkey, the Eastern Mediterranean basin, and the Kingdom. This will lead to increased chances of precipitation in many areas again.

The Wesam Regional Center is also monitoring new rainy weather conditions, but they will be characterized by early and severe cold in some areas after mid-month. The Wesam Regional Center denies that the Kingdom will be affected by rainfall suppression or delay in precipitation, as the current rainy season is considered normal and within its usual rates at this time of year. Jordan usually records only 3-5% of the annual rainfall rate at this time of year. The Kingdom has recorded several weather systems during September and October, and rainfall during these periods is characterized by irregularity and falling in some areas rather than others.

Precipitation before mid-November is usually considered early in relation to the natural annual rainfall rate. Scattered rainy weather conditions are expected during this autumn; however, some of these weather systems may bring large amounts of rainfall for short periods. Usually, heavy rainfall is regular during the winter months.

Jordan is affected by sharp climate changes, especially regarding rising temperatures during the summer season and irregular rainfall. An increase in rainfall rates has been observed over the last 6 years and an increase in flash flood cases as a result of heavy rainfall falling in short periods.
