Arab Weather - The latest satellite images received via the Arab Weather application show that the Kingdom is gradually being affected by a third-degree low-pressure system, classified as "moderate to highly effective," as different parts of the governorates of Irbid, Ajloun, Jerash, and the capital Amman are currently experiencing varying levels of rainfall.

 

A cold front will begin crossing the Kingdom's skies in the coming hours, bringing intensified rainfall.

In the coming hours, a highly effective cold front is expected to begin crossing, causing temperatures to drop sharply, and the weather will be cold and rainy in large areas of the Kingdom, including the northern and central regions, including the capital Amman, in addition to the southern highlands, including Karak and Tafila, and extending to the eastern regions, but with less intensity.

 

Heavy rain is expected in many areas, and may be accompanied by thunderstorms and hail showers, which may lead to flash floods, water accumulation, and rising water levels in a number of roads and low-lying areas.

 

Important recommendations regarding flood risks

Accordingly, the Arab Weather application emphasizes the need to stay away from flood channels and valley bottoms, and to avoid crossing them under any circumstances. Heavy rains and thunderstorms are expected to include the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea, God willing. Therefore, it is advised to avoid going to these areas and to postpone trips abroad on Friday, coinciding with the impact of the low-pressure system and the increased chances of flash floods and valley flows.
