A filmed trip to the snows of 1992 and 2003 in Amman!

ArabiaWeather.com- We remember with you in this hot summer atmosphere, which is considered boring for winter and snow lovers, we remember the historical snows of 1992 and 2003 in the capital, Amman!

As the Levant in general and Jordan in particular were exposed to two snow storms, which are the strongest in terms of snow accumulation in half a century. On this day of the two aforementioned years, all the neighborhoods of Amman were covered with about half a meter - as an average rate - of snow, while the storm was still in its half-life. Which necessitated declaring a state of extreme emergency and summoning the armored vehicles of the Jordanian Arab Army to open the buried roads, by direct order from His Majesty the King.

And we start our journey from the year 1992. In the details, a deep depression formed over the island of Cyprus on February 24, 1992, accompanied by a very cold air mass of polar origin, whose impact extended to Jordan and Palestine for 4 consecutive days!

* The snow thickness in selected areas at the end of the storm was as follows:

Sweileh/North Amman 120 cm.
Jabal Amman 65 cm
Downtown/Amman: 20 cm.
Al-Sharah Mountains / Southern Jordan: more than 3 metres.
West Jerusalem: 50 cm.

And here are some pictures in several areas of the center of the Jordanian capital, Amman, in the middle of the storm!

As for the year 2003, a particularly strong snow storm hit the region of the southern Levant, that is, Jordan and Palestine. It worked to completely paralyze movement in the Jordanian capital, Amman.

In the details, an air depression formed over the north of the island of Cyprus on February 24, 2003, accompanied by a very cold air mass of polar origin, in which snowfall extended for 48 continuous hours.

The outcome at the end of the storm was as follows:

Sweileh/North Amman, 85 cm.
Amman Mountain 40 cm.
Downtown/Amman 10 cm
Ajloun mountains 150 cm
Al-Sharah Mountains/Southern Jordan Don't accumulate!
West Jerusalem 35 cm.

These are some of the selected photos at the end of the storm in the west and north of the Jordanian capital, Amman:
