Is it normal for low pressure systems not to reach Jordan in October?

Arab Weather - Since the beginning of October 2025, the Kingdom has not been affected by any classified low-pressure system. This is due to the concentration of low-pressure systems and their primary impact on the northern Levant. The impact of the outlying regions on the Kingdom has been limited to some limited rainfall in the north.

Some may wonder: Is this normal for Jordan's climate?

Returning to Jordan's climate archive over the past seven rainy seasons, it was noted that the Kingdom was not affected by any officially classified low-pressure system in October, even the lowest (first-degree) ones. This makes Jordan's lack of influence by low-pressure systems in October a normal and prevalent feature of the Kingdom's climate.

The first depressions in the last 7 rainy seasons were in the following order:

2018/2019 Season: Low pressure November 23, 2018 (unclassified)
2019/2020 Season: First-degree depression, December 1/2, 2019
2020/2021 Season: Class 2 Low Pressure, November 4-5, 2020
2021/2022 Season: First-degree depression, September 23-24, 2021
2022/2023 Season: Class 2 Low Pressure, November 8-9, 2022
2023/2024 Season: Third-degree depression on November 18 and 19, 2023
2024/2025 Season: Third-degree depression, February 5-6, 2025

Despite the absence of classified depressions, the Kingdom has experienced atmospheric instability in previous years, leading to scattered and random thunderstorms, often concentrated in the south of the Kingdom.

Statistically, the impact of air depressions on the Kingdom begins in November.

According to the climate archive, the chances of the Kingdom being affected by low-pressure systems are statistically higher in November. However, this pattern may vary from year to year, as the strength and impact of the low-pressure systems depend on their path, center, and the movement and location of the jet stream.

And God knows best.
