The head of the Climate Department at the Meteorological Department, Ahmed Al-Tayyar, said that the Kingdom is still under the influence of a state of atmospheric instability, mainly concentrated in the southern and eastern regions, expecting its impact to deepen during the night hours of Sunday, with rainfall that may be heavy at times in the eastern part of the Kingdom and accompanied by thunder.
Al-Tayyar added, on Sunday evening, that the state of atmospheric instability will continue on Monday, with the expectation of scattered rains in the eastern, southern, and parts of the central eastern regions, accompanied by thunder and hail in some areas of the south and east.
He pointed out that some parts of the central regions may witness scattered showers during the night of Sunday, while parts of the central and northern regions are expected to experience scattered rainfall after the evening of Monday, stressing that the most significant impact of the weather condition will be in the south and east of the Kingdom, including the city of Aqaba.
Al-Tayyar warned of the formation of flash floods in the southern and eastern regions, including Aqaba, urging citizens to stay away from areas of water accumulation and wadis, and also warned of the danger of thunderstorms and hail in some eastern and southern regions.
He drew attention to the possibility of reduced horizontal visibility in the eastern part of the Kingdom due to dust raised by the winds, in addition to the possibility of reduced visibility due to fog over high mountain elevations, urging drivers to exercise caution.
According to Al-Tayyar, the weather on Monday will be moderate in most parts of the Kingdom, and relatively hot in Aqaba and the Jordan Valley, with the expected maximum temperature in the capital Amman being about 28 degrees Celsius, and the minimum at night being about 16 degrees Celsius.
He explained that atmospheric instability cases during the autumn season are not unusual for Jordan's climate, as the southern and eastern regions are affected by them at the beginning and end of the rainy season, and these regions depend on rain to achieve their rainy season.
Al-Tayyar expected, based on numerical models and global predictions adopted by the Meteorological Department, that the autumn rains of the current season would be higher than their general averages by percentages ranging between 5 and 10% in general.
He pointed out the expectation of above-average rainfall during the months of October, November, and December, coinciding with a rise in temperatures by an amount ranging between one and two degrees Celsius during these months.
The impact of the state of atmospheric instability on the Kingdom will continue on Monday, with moderate weather in most regions, and chances of scattered rain showers in parts of the eastern and southeastern regions, which may sometimes be heavy and accompanied by thunder, lightning, and hail, with southeasterly winds of moderate speed, sometimes active, and turning to northwesterly in the evening.
At night, the weather will be pleasant in most regions, and moderate in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba, with clouds appearing at different altitudes, and the chance remains suitable for scattered rain showers in limited parts of eastern Jordan, with southwesterly winds of moderate speed, sometimes active.
The Meteorological Department's forecasts indicate the return of moderate autumn weather on Tuesday, where the weather will generally be moderate, with some clouds appearing at different altitudes, and the winds will be northwesterly of moderate speed. At night, the weather will be pleasant in most regions, and moderate in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba, with some clouds appearing at different altitudes, and the winds will be light and variable in direction.
The moderate autumn weather will continue in most regions on Wednesday, with clouds appearing at high altitudes, and the winds will be southwesterly of light speed, while pleasant weather will prevail at night in most regions, and moderate in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba, with light and variable winds.
