The Kingdom remains today, Sunday, under the influence of atmospheric instability, as scattered showers of rain are expected, God willing, in the eastern and southern regions of the Kingdom, including the city of Aqaba, accompanied by lightning and thunder at times.
In the afternoon hours, the impact of the atmospheric instability will increase, as the eastern, central, and southern regions of the Kingdom are expected to witness heavy rain showers for short periods, accompanied by lightning, thunder, and occasional hail, which may lead to the formation of flash floods in valleys and low-lying areas.
There is also a possibility of rain showers at times in limited parts of the northern regions. Winds will be southeasterly, moderate in speed, picking up at intervals with strong gusts at times, causing dust in the Badia regions, which will lead to reduced horizontal visibility.
The Jordan Meteorological Department warns in its report of the danger of flash floods forming in valleys and low-lying areas, especially in the east and south of the Kingdom, including the city of Aqaba. It also warns of the danger of thunderstorms and hail, the risk of reduced horizontal visibility at times due to dust, especially in the Badia regions and on desert roads, the risk of reduced horizontal visibility at night due to fog formation in high mountain heights, the danger of approaching water accumulation areas, especially in the eastern and southern regions including the city of Aqaba, and the risk of slipping on roads experiencing rainfall.
According to the report, the impact of atmospheric instability on the Kingdom will continue tomorrow, Monday. The weather will be moderately warm in most regions, and scattered rain showers are expected in parts of the eastern and southeastern regions of the Kingdom, which may be heavy at times and accompanied by thunder, lightning, and hail.
