Will Jordan be affected by the first low pressure system in September?

Arab Weather - As the second half of September approaches, observers are increasingly concerned about the possibility of the Kingdom being affected by its first rainfall of the season, as autumn approaches, marking the beginning of the rainy season in the Levant and Jordan.

Will Jordan be affected by the first low pressure system in September?

According to the latest outputs received from computer weather models, they do not currently indicate the formation of rainy weather in Jordan during the remainder of September. This means stable weather will continue, with no signs of unstable weather or rainy depressions on the horizon.

In contrast, the fluctuations in temperature between high and low temperatures, a common feature of autumn, are expected to continue, increasing the risk of colds, flu, and the flu as the temperature differences between day and night increase. Therefore, it is recommended to pay attention to clothing and follow health guidelines to avoid these seasonal illnesses.

September rains constitute a very small percentage of the total rainy season.

According to climate records, September is typically recorded as one of the months with a very limited contribution to the annual rainy season in Jordan, as the amount of rainfall during this month does not exceed 1–3% of the total rainy season in most areas, and the month often passes without any rainfall.

This is linked to the nature of the prevailing weather systems during this time of year, as summer weather remains mostly stable, while the first significant weather events typically begin in October. However, in some rare seasons, September may witness limited instances of atmospheric instability or a weak extension of cold upper troughs, which can trigger local thunderstorms. However, their impact remains limited and does not constitute a major contributor to the Kingdom's rainfall.

Therefore, the main reliance on the rainy season is on the months extending from November to February, when the largest amounts of rainfall are concentrated.

And God knows best.
