Jordan | Does the absence of rainy conditions during October indicate a delay in the start of the rainy season?

Arab Weather - As the end of October approaches, the Kingdom has not yet been exposed to any significant or comprehensive rain event, including the "first winter". Despite some light local rain falling during the month of September, they are not considered significant or comprehensive rain events.

Is the absence of rain so far an indication of a delay in the rainy season?

Data from the Arab Weather Regional Center indicates that the absence of rainy conditions during October is not a definitive indicator of a delay in the rainy season. Although October usually represents a transition period towards rain, weather patterns in Jordan are affected by several factors, including global climate change and atmospheric conditions.

The timing of the onset of rain also depends on the influence of weather systems in the northern hemisphere and their role in shaping the weather over the eastern Mediterranean basin at this time of year. It is worth noting that Jordan has witnessed a delay in the onset of rain in previous years without this significantly affecting the season.

Therefore, the absence of rain in October does not necessarily mean a long delay in the rainy season, as fluctuating rainfall is part of Jordan's climate and may occur in multiple seasons.

And God knows best.
