Jordan: List of areas most vulnerable to floods and torrential rains tonight due to the unstable weather conditions

Arab Weather - The Kingdom began to be affected by a state of atmospheric instability in the afternoon hours of Sunday, accompanied by a clear difference in the atmosphere and an increase in clouds at different altitudes. Showers of rain fell in different areas of the north, center, and south of the Kingdom, including random areas, and included scattered neighborhoods of the capital, Amman.

The Kingdom will be increasingly affected by the state of instability during the evening hours today and tonight.

The latest weather forecasts in "Arab Weather" indicate that the Kingdom will be increasingly affected by the state of atmospheric instability during the evening hours of Sunday and the night of Sunday/Monday. The opportunity is prepared for thunderstorms in the south of the Kingdom, after which the opportunity will gradually extend over time to concentrate in the desert areas, especially the central desert, including areas such as Al-Qatrana, Dabaa, Al-Zamila and the surrounding areas and parts of the desert road. It is not unlikely that the rainfall will be heavy at some time in some narrow geographical areas and accompanied by hail, which will lead to the flow of valleys and ravines and the formation of desert torrents and perhaps the occurrence of transferred torrents (the transfer of torrents from an area with rainfall to another area that does not necessarily have been exposed to any rainfall).

During the night, these rain showers are expected to include other areas of the Kingdom, but in a random and irregular manner. There is still a chance that these random showers will be accompanied by thunder, and they may be heavy in limited areas and accompanied by hail.

Winds will be moderate easterly, active with the passage of cumulonimbus clouds, stirring up dust and sand, and later turning to moderate northwesterly.

Recommendations:

Due to the nature of this weather condition, which is represented by the presence of thunderstorms in geographically random areas in addition to their concentration in the desert areas, there are concerns about:

• The occurrence of valleys and ravines flowing and the formation of torrents in the desert areas, especially the central desert areas, including areas such as Qatrana, Dabaa, Al-Zamila and the surrounding areas.
• It is recommended not to be in valleys and to stay away from valleys and ravines.
• It is recommended to be aware of the risk of flash floods (the movement of floods from an area with rainfall to another area that does not necessarily have any rainfall).
