Jordan | In chronological order, learn about the effects of a third-degree depression and the areas covered by rain and snow during the coming days

Arab weather - the latest outputs of numerical weather models indicate that the Kingdom was affected, as of Monday, by an air depression classified to coincide with the start of the winter square, and the air depression was classified as a third degree (medium-high efficiency) associated with an air mass that is considered the coldest since the beginning of the season .

Watch in chronological order the expected effects of the depression, God willing.

Active cold air front crossing with the late morning hours

An active cold air front begins to cross the Kingdom’s airspace as of the late morning hours of Monday, in an introduction to a very cold air mass that works on a very low temperature and intensification of the speed of the southwest wind, which is accompanied by strong gusts that touch the 100 km/hour barrier in some areas, especially with hours Monday noon, which works to raise dust and dust in an intensity that forms dust waves in a number of desert areas and roads, including the desert road and the Baghdad International Road.

With the crossing of the cold air front with the late morning and noon hours, showers of rain fall on many regions of the Kingdom. The rains are sometimes heavy and accompanied by heavy showers of hail, especially over the high mountainous heights, and there is an opportunity for snow showers to fall over the high mountain heights whose height is more than 1100 and it accumulates over the mountain highlands higher than 1,300 meters, coinciding with the form of heavy fog over the high mountain heights as a result of crossing the low clouds and touching the surface of the Earth.

The completion of the crossing of the cold air front in the afternoon and a temporary retreat from the intensity of the rain, in preparation for the crossing of the main air front

The crossing of the cold air front is completed on Monday afternoon, and the intensity of rain decreases with the continuation of the brisk southwest winds accompanied by strong gusts, which causes continuous dust waves in the desert areas. Precipitation is regular and the weather becomes rainy in several parts of the Kingdom, especially in the northern and central regions.

The rain is sometimes heavy and accompanied by heavy showers of hail with the formation of fog over the high mountainous heights as a result of the low clouds crossing and touching the surface of the earth.

The opportunity remains ripe for loss of snow showers over the high mountain heights exceeding a height of 1,100 meters above sea level , and sometimes accumulate over areas with an altitude exceeding 1,300 meters above sea level .

Continuing rainy weather with showers of hail continues Monday/Tuesday night

The effect of the main air front is expected to continue during the night hours of Monday/Tuesday, when the weather will be rainy in the north and center of the Kingdom in particular. The rains will be heavy at times and accompanied by showers of hail over the high mountainous heights with the crossing of low clouds working to form fog over the mountains. With the opportunity for showers of rain and hail to extend to the southern regions, the showers will be in the form of snow over the southern peaks.

Coinciding with the predominance of cold to very cold weather in all regions of the Kingdom, temperatures drop to zero degrees Celsius or less in the southern mountains and southern Badia regions, where ice forms in those areas, and the fog is freezing in those areas.

With brisk westerly winds, accompanied by strong gusts exceeding the 80 km/h barrier in the eastern and open areas, they raise dust and dust.

The depression is moving eastward on Tuesday, and the kingdom remains under the influence of humid western currents

The depression is moving eastward on Tuesday, and the Kingdom remains under the influence of cold and humid western air currents, where the weather is cold and foggy over the high mountainous heights, with activity of western winds and showers of rain at intervals in the north and center of the Kingdom, especially during the morning period.

Important recommendations from Arab weather during the expected depression

2. The necessity of fixing the external holdings due to the severity of the expected wind speed, and reducing the driving speed of large vehicles on external roads.
3. Attention to the dangers of sandstorms in the desert areas of the south and east of the Kingdom and their impact on horizontal visibility, especially on external roads.
4. Attention to the dangers of high waves in the Gulf of Aqaba due to strong southern winds and the effects of this on marine navigation.
5. Observe the safe use of heating equipment.
