Nayrouz News Agency : A tangible drop in temperatures is expected on Monday, so it will be
chilly and cloudy with scattered showers in various parts of the
Kingdom, the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) said in its daily
brief.
Rainfall is expected to be heavier in the northern and
central regions, accompanied by thunder storms and hail, and making
floods in the valleys and low-lying areas, while winds will be westerly
moderate to brisk, the JMD added, noting that rainfall is expected to
decrease by night hours with a possibility of patchy fog.
The
weather department also warned of poor visibility due to dust and fog
formation in the Badia and highlands, and of slippery roads in the areas
experiencing rain.
On Tuesday, very cold conditions with cloudy
skies will continue to prevail during day time, but later in the
evening, the Kingdom will be affected by an air depression coming from
Syria, bringing cloudy spotty showers in the northern regions,
stretching at night to cover the central and southwestern highlands
along with parts of the eastern areas.
The JMD predicted that
downpours will be heavier in the western parts of the country, with
lightning, thunder and hail at times, while winds will be westerly
active with strong gusts exceeding 50 km/hour and blowing dust in the
Badia.
As we head into Wednesday, the impact of the cold front
and the depression will deepen, so bitterly cold and cloudy weather will
persist along with heavy rain, accompanied by thunder and hail, and
making flash floods, according to the JMD.
Snow showers are also
expected over the southern mountain peaks of Al-Sharah, the weather
department said, adding that there are some initial indications that the
northern and central highlands of the kingdom may witness showers of
rain and snow.
Toward night, rain precipitation will gradually taper off with a possibility of freeze formation in heights and Badia.
Mercury
in Amman today ranges between 9 Celsius degrees, dropping to 5C during
night hours, while the city of Aqaba will see a high of 21C, sliding
