Ammon News - A "noticeable" drop in temperatures is forecast Saturday, with dust engulfing many areas, particularly in the Kingdom's southern and eastern regions.

The weather will be relatively cold and partly cloudy almost nationwide, and relatively warm in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba.

Showers are expected in the morning hours in the Kingdom's northern and central regions. Winds will be southwesterly to westerly, brisk with occasional strong gusts reaching speeds of 50-60 km/h.

In its report, Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) warns of the risk of low horizontal visibility during the day due to dust in many areas, and sometimes zero visibility on highways.
