Jordan: The low-pressure system will intensify to a third-degree storm tomorrow, with heavy rain expected starting in the evening, especially in Karak and Tafila.

Arab Weather – According to the latest weather maps from Arab Weather, the expected low-pressure system affecting the Kingdom on Saturday and Sunday, December 27-28, 2025, has intensified to a Category 3 (moderate to high intensity) due to its expected strong impact on several regions, particularly the governorates of Karak and Tafilah. These two governorates are expected to experience heavy and continuous rainfall starting in the evening. This low-pressure system will cause a noticeable drop in temperatures, with cold and cloudy conditions prevailing, interspersed with showers in many areas. These showers may be heavy at times and could be accompanied by lightning, thunder, and hail in some areas. This is also the first low-pressure system of the winter season.

Details of the weather situation and its impact on the Kingdom

Saturday: Effects begin and increase in effectiveness in the evening

Saturday: Temperatures will drop to around or slightly below average, with cold weather expected across the country. Clouds will appear at various altitudes, and scattered showers are expected in the north and parts of the central region from morning until midday.

Afternoon and evening: The low-pressure system will gradually intensify, bringing mostly cloudy skies and widespread, organized rainfall that will extend to the north, central regions, and southern highlands. Rain will be heavy at times, with chances of lightning, thunder, and localized hail, potentially leading to flash floods and water accumulation in valleys.

Low-lying clouds will also pass over the ground, causing dense fog to form over the high mountain peaks. Winds will be moderate westerly, occasionally becoming stronger. Saturday night/Sunday morning: Heavy rain and flash flood warnings in Karak and Tafilah.

During the night hours (Saturday/Sunday night): Cold and cloudy weather will prevail with intermittent rain in multiple areas, with the activity concentrated in the south in the governorates of Karak and Tafila.

Heavy rainfall is expected in these areas, increasing the risk of flash floods and landslides in valleys and ravines, and potentially soil and rockfalls in affected regions. Scattered showers will continue in the north and central regions, and fog will re-form over the highlands, significantly reducing visibility and possibly causing near-zero visibility on some roads.

Sunday, December 28, 2025: Very cold weather in the morning, dense fog, and continued heavy rain in Karak and Tafila.

Morning and early afternoon: The Kingdom remains under the influence of the low-pressure system, with very cold and cloudy weather expected as people head to work. Showers are expected in many areas, becoming very heavy in Karak and Tafilah. Dense fog will form over the high mountain peaks, including major highways such as the Irbid-Amman road and the Desert Highway.

The rest of the day will remain cold with scattered showers in the north, central regions, and southern highlands, accompanied by fog. Winds will be moderate southwesterly, occasionally becoming brisk, with strong gusts that may exceed 70 km/h in exposed areas, particularly the desert and plains, and may raise dust locally.

Sunday evening and night/Monday: The impact of the low pressure system will gradually decrease, with a continued chance of light and scattered showers, and fog continuing to form over the high mountain peaks.

Key recommendations during the weather conditions

• Wear warm clothes.
• Safe use of heating appliances.
• Drive carefully and leave a safe distance during rain and fog.
• Warning of flash floods and overflowing valleys, especially in low-lying and southern areas.
• Beware of landslides and rockfalls, especially in the southern highlands.
• Be aware of dense fog and reduced visibility over highlands and outer roads.

And God knows best.
