These winds are also usually dry and cold, which increases their strength and impact on crops. </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2020/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%B1%D8%AF%D9%86%20%20%D8%AA%D9%88%D8%B5%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%AA%20%D9%87%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%A9%20%D9%84%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B2%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%B9%D9%8A%D9%86%20%D8%AE%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%84%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%8A%D8%A7%D9%85%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%85%D8%A9%20%281%29.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 381px;" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The relationship between winter and agriculture in Jordan</h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Winter is a critical season for agriculture in Jordan, as different regions are exposed to climate fluctuations that may affect crops.
