Weather instability, scattered rain showers expected across Jordan on Sunday

Amman: A gradual onset of atmospheric instability is forecast across Jordan on Sunday, with varying altitudes witnessing an increase in cloud cover.

These showers may be accompanied by thunderstorms and hail, raising concerns of flash floods in valleys and low-lying areas.

As the night progresses, the impact of atmospheric instability and rainfall is expected to diminish. Winds will moderate in speed, shifting direction from northeast to northwest intermittently, potentially causing dust storms, particularly in desert regions, leading to reduced horizontal visibility.
