Ammon News - Pleasant and milder conditions are prevailing across much of the country on Wednesday, as a relatively humid air mass is expected to reinforce cooler weather on Thursday, according to the Jordan Meteorological Department.

Temperatures dropped slightly on Wednesday, bringing pleasant weather to most regions, while relatively hot conditions continue in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba. Clouds are appearing at varying altitudes, accompanied by moderate westerly winds that are expected to strengthen during the afternoon, with occasional strong gusts raising dust, particularly in Badia areas.

Low clouds are forecast, with a chance of light morning showers in northern regions. Westerly winds will remain moderate, becoming active during the afternoon and occasionally raising dust in exposed desert areas.
