Jordan: Updates on the low-pressure system and rain forecasts for the coming hours

Arab Weather - The latest satellite images in Arab Weather indicate that the Kingdom will continue to be affected by a second-degree (normal) low-pressure system, and thus the weather will be cold and cloudy with rainfall expected, God willing, in the north and center of the Kingdom. The rain will extend to parts of the southern and western regions, and the rain will be heavy at times, especially in the north and center of the Kingdom. Low clouds will also pass, touching the ground surface, leading to the formation of fog over the high mountain peaks.

There is a noticeable increase in the speed of the westerly winds, which may be accompanied by strong gusts exceeding 60 km/h, especially in the eastern plains and desert regions, leading to dust storms in those areas.

In the far eastern desert regions, particularly the Jordanian-Iraqi border area, unstable weather conditions prevail, with thunderclouds multiplying and opportunities for thunderstorms accompanied by hail and dust-raising winds.

Key recommendations during the period when the Kingdom is affected by the low-pressure system:

• Avoid crossing or standing in valleys.
• Drive carefully on roads experiencing rainfall or reduced horizontal visibility due to fog.
• Be aware of the risks of flash floods and the flow of valleys and ravines, including the Jordan Valley areas.

And God knows best.
