Jordan: Several important things you should know about the expected weather instability

Arab Weather - Weather experts at the Arab Weather Center stated that the Kingdom and the region will, God willing, enter a period of atmospheric instability starting in the early hours of Tuesday, November 25, 2025, and continuing throughout the day, weakening during the night. This atmospheric instability is due to the influx of a cold front in the upper atmosphere, coupled with an effective response from the Red Sea trough from the south. This will lead to the formation of thunderstorms in scattered areas of the Kingdom, bringing varying intensities of rain, accompanied by thunderstorms and possibly hail in some regions.

Several important things you should know about atmospheric instability:

• The weather conditions will begin at dawn and on Tuesday morning and will continue throughout the day, but will begin to weaken and decline during the night and dawn of Wednesday.
• The situation is random in nature, meaning that rainfall will not be regular in intensity in terms of time, place and intensity.
• The situation is accompanied by heavy rainfall within narrow geographical areas, and may be accompanied by hail.
• The risks of flash floods, torrents, and sudden flash floods increase in such cases, especially in the Jordan Valley.
• Rain is accompanied by thunderstorms and possibly lightning in some areas, especially exposed areas.

What do we mean by flash floods and flash floods?

Flash floods:
These are flash floods that form very quickly after heavy rainfall in a limited area and within a short period of time.
It is considered one of the most dangerous types of floods because it occurs suddenly, and often sweeps away everything in its path, whether vehicles, people, or property.
These flash floods usually occur in mountainous areas, slopes, or cities with poor drainage infrastructure, and are directly caused by rainfall.

Runoff Floods:
These are the floods that reach a certain area from distant regions that have not experienced rainfall, meaning that their source is usually from the high mountains towards the valleys and low areas.

This water moves through the valleys to reach low-lying areas, and may surprise the residents there even though the weather there may be stable.

And God knows best.
