Jordan | Public Security Directorate warns of expected weather instability tomorrow

The Public Security Directorate warned of the expected weather instability tomorrow, with rain expected to begin in the southern regions, including the city of Aqaba, and later extend to include various regions of the Kingdom. The rain may be heavy at times, accompanied by thunder and hail, according to weather bulletins issued by the competent authorities.

The directorate called on citizens to take the necessary precautions, follow proper conduct, and stay away from the sides of valleys, places where torrents form, and low-lying areas, including the Aqaba and Dead Sea regions, and not to risk crossing water bodies, whether on foot or using vehicles.

She also stressed the importance of driving cautiously on roads that may experience rainfall, and taking precautions due to reduced horizontal visibility caused by fog over mountainous areas, and by dust in desert regions.

She warned of the high wind speeds and strong gusts that accompany them, stressing the need to secure objects that could be blown away.

It also called for the safe use of all types of heating appliances, not refueling them while they are lit, turning them off before going to sleep, and the need to provide proper ventilation inside homes continuously, warning against the use of wood stoves because they may cause cases of suffocation.

The directorate confirmed the readiness of all its staff to deal with various incidents, calling for calls to the unified emergency number (911) when needed.
