A Khamsin low-pressure system is moving towards the Kingdom, accompanied by several changes.

Arab Weather - The latest outputs of computer models indicate that the Kingdom will be affected on Sunday and Monday by a Khamsin low-pressure system, which will lead to a clear rise in temperatures and an increase in dust levels in the atmosphere at intervals, especially on Monday.

The impact of the weather conditions is expected to be as follows:

* A clear rise in temperatures, becoming several degrees Celsius above their general averages. The weather will be warm to relatively hot in various regions during the daytime hours, with maximum temperatures reaching around 30 degrees Celsius in Jordanian cities, while approaching 40 degrees Celsius and perhaps more in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and Aqaba regions, where the weather will be hot.

* Dust levels will rise intermittently, especially from Sunday evening and Monday, leading to varying reductions in horizontal visibility, which will be significant in the east.

On Monday, strong to very strong westerly winds are expected, with gusts reaching between 70-90 km/h in the eastern desert regions, leading to the formation of sandstorms in those areas, in addition to stirring up dense dust waves in various desert areas, external roads and border crossings, which requires attention to the risks of reduced and perhaps zero horizontal visibility, especially on desert roads.

And God knows best.
