Arab Weather - God willing, the weather on Thursday in the southern regions of the Kingdom (Karak, Tafilah, Ma'an, and Aqaba governorates) is expected to be cold, cloudy, and rainy. Heavy rain is expected, accompanied by thunder and hail, which may be heavy at times. Due to the prolonged heavy rainfall, flash floods are expected in the valleys and ravines of southern Jordan, necessitating maximum preparedness and vigilance. The rainfall may also lead to landslides on vulnerable mountain slopes.
And with the morning hours, snowfall is expected, God willing, and perhaps it may accumulate temporarily on the high peaks of the southern high mountain ranges (the Sharah Mountains), including the peaks of Ras al-Naqab (the desert road connecting with the Aqaba Governorate), Jabal Mubarak and the surrounding areas such as Ayl, Al-Rajef and Al-Taybeh Al-Janoubiya of the Petra District, the high heights of Al-Shoubak and the heights of Al-Hisha and the King’s Road connecting Al-Shoubak and Wadi Musa, in addition to the high peaks of Al-Qadisiyah and the Al-Rashadiyah area.
In the remaining northern and central regions, including the capital Amman, the weather will be cold with intermittent rain, which may be heavy at times, especially in the northern areas, accompanied by low-lying clouds. Rain will also extend to the eastern regions, becoming thundery and causing flash floods in the wadis and valleys.
1) Be aware in the south of the Kingdom of the great dangers resulting from the formation of strong torrents and flooding of valleys, and do not be present in the valleys or risk crossing them while their water level is high.
2) Be aware of the risk of rockfalls on mountain slopes prone to them.
3) Be aware of the risk of slipping due to snowfall on the high mountain peaks in the Sharah Mountains on Thursday morning.
4) Be aware of the risk of fog formation and reduced horizontal visibility in mountainous areas.
5) Be aware of the risk of vehicles slipping on the roads, especially when rain or hail begins to fall, and be aware of slips when snow falls in the highlands of Tafila and Shara.
The weather will be cold and wintry, with rainfall slightly less intense in the southern regions, but it will still be present. The weather will be cold and cloudy with intermittent rain in the north and center of the Kingdom, in addition to the governorates of Karak and Tafila. Low clouds touching the ground will cross the high mountain peaks, leading to the formation of fog and a decrease in horizontal visibility. The winds will be active westerly winds with strong gusts.
Recommendations for Thursday night/Friday morning:
1) Be aware in the south of the Kingdom of the great dangers resulting from the formation of strong torrents and flooding of valleys, and do not be present in the valleys or risk crossing them while their water level is high.
2) Be aware of the risk of rockfalls on mountain slopes prone to them.
3) Be aware of the risk of fog formation and reduced horizontal visibility in mountainous areas.
And God knows best.
