Although October usually represents a transition period towards rain, weather patterns in Jordan are affected by several factors, including global climate change and atmospheric conditions.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The timing of the onset of rain also depends on the influence of weather systems in the northern hemisphere and their role in shaping the weather over the eastern Mediterranean basin at this time of year. It is worth noting that Jordan has witnessed a delay in the onset of rain in previous years without this significantly affecting the season.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B7%D9%82%D8%B3-%D9%84%D...
