AMMAN — According to Arabia Weather, the Kingdom will be in a state of atmospheric instability starting from Sunday night.اضافة اعلان

The center is monitoring significant changes in the weather conditions and sharp fluctuations. This is due to the activity of the Red Sea low-pressure system extending noticeably towards Jordan, simultaneous with the influx of a cold air mass from Europe towards the region, Al-Mamlaka TV reported.

The latest outputs from the computerized weather maps and modeling at Arabia Weather center indicate the approaching of a cold air mass towards the region Sunday. This coincides with the expansion of the so-called "Red Sea low-pressure system" from the south. It is expected that a state of atmospheric instability will arise above Jordan resulting from the collision of cold air coming from Europe with warm and humid air coming from the south, accompanied by the extension of the Red Sea low-pressure system.

A clear rise in temperatures will occur on Sunday during the day due to the influx of a warm air mass towards Jordan caused by the movement of a relatively cold upper trough towards Egyptian territories. Therefore, the weather on Sunday will be warm in various regions and hot in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba.

However, starting from Sunday evening and night, a state of atmospheric instability will arise from the southern regions, with random rain showers falling in scattered areas, especially in the southern, eastern, and southern desert regions. The winds will be moderate southeast, occasionally becoming active and causing dust in the desert and eastern plains areas.

The impact on Jordan will increase on Monday with the extension of the Red Sea low-pressure system and random thunderstorm showers in some areas.

As for Monday during the day, the impact on Jordan gradually increases with a state of atmospheric instability. There will be a clear drop in temperatures, clouds will gradually increase, and random rain showers will fall in different areas of the kingdom, especially in the afternoon and evening, sometimes accompanied by thunderstorms, especially in the southern and eastern regions. The winds will be moderate southwest, becoming active during the day and accompanied by strong gusts in the desert and desert roads areas, leading to the formation of dust waves and reduced horizontal visibility.

Due to the continued influx of a cold air mass towards the kingdom, it is expected that a deep low-pressure system will form over Syrian territories accompanied by a cold air mass. Therefore, on Monday night, a cold and highly active air front will pass over Jordan, turning the weather stormy and generally cloudy with heavy rain showers at times accompanied by thunder in some areas. Consequently, occasional flash floods are expected in some areas.

Jordan will continue to be affected on Tuesday by the cold air mass accompanying the deep low-pressure system centered over Syrian territories. There will be a noticeable drop in temperatures, and the weather will be cold, cloudy, and variably rainy in different areas. The winds will be strong to severe southwesterly to westerly during the day, accompanied by sandstorms in the desert areas and all desert roads and border crossings.
