Jordan | In the first week of October.. A moderate start ends with indications of the first extension of the Red Sea depression (details)

Arab Weather - Weather experts at the Arab Weather Regional Center said that the latest advanced computer outputs on the behavior of weather systems expected during the first week of October show striking temperature fluctuations, with initial indications being monitored that the Kingdom will be affected by the first extension of the Red Sea depression at the beginning of next week, which will bring a noticeable rise in temperatures, especially on Sunday and Monday, God willing.

Temperatures will remain below average on Wednesday before gradually rising starting on Thursday.

On Wednesday, the Kingdom will continue to be affected by a humid autumn air mass, with temperatures remaining 3-5 degrees Celsius lower than their average for this time of year. The weather will be relatively cold in the early morning over the mountainous highlands and pleasant for the rest of the day, with the appearance of low clouds.

Temperatures will gradually rise again starting from Thursday and will increase on Friday, so that temperatures will return to their usual rates and approach 30 degrees Celsius in the eastern neighborhoods of the capital, Amman. The weather will be moderate over the mountains and tend to be hot in the afternoon and evening hours, and there will be a rise in night temperatures so that the atmosphere will become pleasantly warm and tend to be cold over the high mountainous elevations.

Indications that the Kingdom will be affected by the first extension of the Red Sea depression starting Saturday, accompanied by temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius

The same specialized computer maps, which show the behavior of air masses in the lower layers of the atmosphere close to the Earth's surface, indicate that there are indications that the Kingdom will be affected starting Saturday and increasing on Sunday by the first ineffective extension of the so-called Red Sea depression, which is accompanied by a relatively hot and dry air mass. The effects of the Red Sea depression on the Kingdom can be summarized in the following points:

Saturday 10/5/2024: Temperatures will rise again to be 3-5 degrees Celsius above their average for this time of year. The weather will be relatively hot and sunny in general, with maximum temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius in major cities, including the capital, Amman.

Sunday and Monday 6-7/10/2024: The Kingdom will be increasingly affected by a relatively hot air mass accompanying an extension of the Red Sea depression, and thus temperatures will rise again to be several degrees Celsius higher than their averages for this time of year, and the weather will be semi-summer, relatively hot to hot, with maximum temperatures approaching the mid-30s Celsius in the capital, Amman.

Warning of severe temperature fluctuations and increased chances of catching a cold and flu in the first week of October

The coming days will be characterized by many temperature fluctuations that will be clear and tangible, and thus the chances of catching colds and flu will increase. Therefore, the Arab Weather Center advises the need to pay attention to temperature differences, with the need to focus on children's clothing at night and early morning, especially for school students and the elderly, to avoid seasonal diseases, colds and flu. We wish everyone safety.

Scientifically: What is the Red Sea depression expected to affect the Kingdom next week?

Arab Weather explains that the Red Sea depression is a thermal depression, and its characteristics do not follow frontal or tropical depressions. Its extension north and east depends on the movement of cold upper basins that rush from the north. The Red Sea depression causes high temperatures, and may cause heat waves when its extension is strong. It also causes dry and dusty weather, and may form dust waves at times, as a result of the east to southeast winds blowing.

God knows best.
