Nayrouz News Agency : A tangible drop in temperatures is expected on Tuesday, as a cold air
mass accompanying a depression from Cyprus is forecast to cross the
Kingdom while we go into the night, bringing cold, cloudy weather with
rain in the northern highlands.
According to the Jordan
Meteorological Department (JMD), downpours are expected to intensify and
cover much of the country with heavy showers in some regions, making
flash floods in valleys and low-lying areas, while winds will be
southwesterly moderate to active, stirring dust and causing low
horizontal visibility in the Badia.
The depression is expected
to deepen on Wednesday, pushing mercury levels down and bringing cold
conditions with spotty showers that may turn heavy with thunder and
hail, mainly in the western parts of the country, causing a rise in
water levels and flash floods in sloped or lowlands, the department
predicted.
The Kingdom will remain under the impact of the cold
and wet front, the JMD said, noting that rainfall will taper off in the
evening as clouds will gradually decrease with a possibility of fog
formation at night over highlands and the Badia regions.
Today,
mercury in Amman hovers around 16 Celsius degrees, dropping to 9C during
night hours, while the Gulf of Aqaba will see a relatively hot 25C,
sliding into 13C during nighttime.
