Jordan: Thunderstorms are forming in the south of the Kingdom now, which may be accompanied by sudden rainfall and downward winds.

Arab Weather - Satellite images from Arab Weather indicate the beginning of cumulus cloud formation in areas of the southern part of the Kingdom. These clouds are expected to develop into thunderstorms, accompanied by sudden local rainfall and the formation of what are known as downdrafts, which could trigger dust and sand storms.

It is important to note the seriousness of these conditions, which are accompanied by sudden rainfall in narrow geographical areas, leading to the formation of torrents and flash floods. This type of cloud is also usually accompanied by the rush of cold, heavy winds from the top of the clouds, which suddenly rush towards the Earth's surface, leading to the formation of sandstorms that sometimes lead to a loss of visibility.

The latest forecasts indicate that there is a chance during the coming hours and until the early hours of this evening for the formation of cumulonimbus clouds in random areas, especially in the desert and eastern plains, which will be accompanied by thunder, lightning and sudden descending winds that lead to the formation of wall-mounted dust storms that lead to a decrease and absence of horizontal visibility. These cumulonimbus clouds are also accompanied by random showers of rain in narrow geographical areas, which may be heavy in limited areas, leading to the flow of valleys and desert ravines in a manner that is considered extremely rare for this time of year in the summer.
