Aqaba Governorate: Heavy thunderstorms expected Saturday evening, with fears of flash floods and overflowing wadis.

Arab Weather - The results of the computer numerical model analyses at the Arab Weather Center indicate that the city of Aqaba and its surroundings will be gradually affected on Saturday by a strong state of atmospheric instability, where clouds are expected to increase and showers of rain of varying intensity are expected, sometimes accompanied by lightning and thunder.

In detail, the city of Aqaba and the surrounding areas, such as Wadi Rum and the Disi district, will be affected by a strong state of atmospheric instability gradually during Saturday, especially during the evening and night hours, where the weather is expected to be cloudy with showers of rain, which may be heavy at times and accompanied by thunderstorms, especially at the beginning of the instability. There is a fear of the risk of flash floods and rising water levels as a result of the sometimes heavy thunderstorms.

Sea waves rise significantly when thunderclouds pass by due to the strong downdrafts that accompany them, as these winds cause the water surface to become disturbed and increase the speed and direction of wave movement within a short period of time.

The weather is expected to gradually stabilize at dawn and on Sunday morning, at which point the chances of rain in the city of Aqaba will disappear, God willing.

And God knows best.
