Jordan's Public Security Directorate warns of vehicle slippage as rain forecast for Thursday

Arab Weather - The Public Security Directorate issued an important warning to drivers and road users on Wednesday, urging them to take extreme caution during the dawn and early morning hours of Thursday.

This warning comes in light of weather forecasts indicating rain showers are expected in some areas on Thursday. According to the latest weather forecasts in the Arab Weather app, unstable weather conditions are expected to affect the Kingdom on Thursday, bringing showers to some areas.

The directorate explained that this rainfall, being the first after a long hiatus, will cause rainwater to mix with dust and dirt suspended on road surfaces, creating an extremely sticky and slippery layer. It emphasized that this layer could cause vehicles to lose control and suddenly slip, increasing the risk of traffic accidents.

The Public Security Directorate urged drivers to reduce speed significantly, leave a safe distance between vehicles, and avoid sudden braking, to ensure their own safety and the safety of others.
