Ammon News - The Kingdom on Monday is anticipated to experience the influence of a relatively cold and humid air mass, accompanied by an extension of an air depression, resulting in temperatures dropping significantly below their annual average by approximately 6-7 degrees.
Most regions will observe relatively cold conditions, while warmth is expected in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba. Partial to complete cloud cover is forecast, with intermittent showers expected, predominantly in the northern and central areas of the country, and parts of the eastern regions.
Heavy rainfall, at times accompanied by thunder, may occur briefly in the northern regions, with active northwesterly winds prevailing, occasionally with strong gusts and dust in the desert areas.
The Jordan Meteorological Department cautions of potential hazards including low horizontal visibility due to morning fog over the highlands, the possibility of slippery roads in rainfall-affected regions, and reduced visibility due to dust in the Badia.

Warm conditions are expected in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba, with low-altitude clouds and a possibility of light morning showers in the northern parts of the Kingdom.
