Jordan: Due to widespread and heavy rains… the Azraq Oasis is filled with water and returns to its former glory

Arab Weather - Over the past few days, large areas of the Jordanian desert have witnessed heavy and widespread rainfall, leading to flash floods and overflowing wadis in several low-lying areas. This rain has also contributed to the replenishment of the Azraq Oasis, reviving memories of its historical significance as one of the most important water oases in eastern Jordan.

Temporary water lakes were formed in various parts of the desert as a result of the accumulation of rainwater and floods, which had a positive impact on the vegetation and wildlife in the region, and also contributed to improving the surface water supply.

This scene is relatively rare, as the oasis needs extensive and heavy rainfall to restore its water activity, making this rainy event one of the most prominent cases that revived the oasis and showed the extent of water bodies in the Jordanian desert.
