Weather instability persists for two days

Amman: Jordan continues to experience weather instability on Monday as warm temperatures prevail across most regions. The Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba will experience relatively hot conditions, with clouds at various altitudes. In the afternoon, rainfall is expected in different parts of the Kingdom, with heavy showers anticipated in certain areas, accompanied by thunderstorms and hail, posing risks of flash floods and increased water levels in valleys and low-lying areas. Winds will be northeasterly to northwesterly, moderate in speed but periodically active, resulting in dusty conditions, particularly in the Badia region. The Jordan Meteorological Department warns of several potential hazards associated with this weather pattern, including the risk of flash floods and increased water levels in valleys and lowlands, slippery road conditions, reduced horizontal visibility due to dust, particularly in the desert areas, as well as the potential for thunder, lightning, and cold spells.
