Jordan on Wednesday will be affected by a cold and wet air mass, pushing temperatures down and bringing cold and partly cloudy conditions with intermittent rain in the northern and central highlands, according to the Jordan Meteorological Department
(JMD).
In the evening, rainfall is expected to extend to the southwestern regions, while winds will be westerly moderate to brisk, the JMD said.
The weather department also warned of slippery roads in the areas experiencing rain, poor visibility in highlands and the Badia areas due to fog and dust formation, and of flood formation in valleys and lowlands, mainly in the western regions.
On Thursday, the country will remain under the impact of the cold air mass, and mercury will further dip, so cold, cloudy and rainy conditions will continue to persist, the JMD predicted.
Toward night, rainfall is forecast to taper off and the weather will stabilize, with a possibility of fog formation over highlands and the Badia, the JMD noted.
The weather on Friday is expected to be cold in much of the Kingdom, and fair in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and Aqaba, with low clouds and southeasterly moderate winds.
Daytime temperatures for today in Amman will hover around 15 degrees Celsius, dropping down to 7 at night. The weather will be warmer in the port city of Aqaba with highs reaching 21 degrees and lows standing at 13.
