The Kingdom is experiencing intensified atmospheric instability on Thursday, with increasing cumulonimbus clouds bringing rainfall to various regions.
Showers are expected in the southern parts of the country, becoming more widespread in the afternoon, particularly in central and eastern areas. Some downpours may be heavy at times, accompanied by thunderstorms and hail, raising the risk of flash floods in valleys and low-lying areas. Strong easterly winds are also expected to stir up dust, especially in desert regions.
The Jordan Meteorological Department has issued warnings about potential flash floods in valleys and low-lying areas, particularly in the southern regions, including Aqaba, as well as in central and eastern areas. The department also cautioned against thunderstorms, hail, and reduced visibility due to dust, particularly in desert regions.
On Friday, temperatures are forecast to decrease slightly while unstable weather conditions persist. The weather will remain cold and partly cloudy to cloudy at times, with rain showers expected across several parts of the country.
Some areas may experience heavy rainfall, accompanied by thunderstorms and hail. Winds will shift from northeasterly to northwesterly, occasionally becoming active.
Saturday is expected to bring a slight rise in temperatures, with relatively cold and partly cloudy weather prevailing across most regions. Rain showers may continue until midday in the northeastern Badia. Moderate northwesterly winds will be active at times in desert areas.
