Weather of Arabia - The latest readings and meteorological analyzes indicate that the impact of the depression will deepen further during the hours of the next night, at dawn and on the morning of Friday in the southern regions of the Kingdom. Weather forecasters at the Arab Regional Weather Center say that a steady cold polar wind has been observed from the east of the European continent towards the southern regions of the kingdom, passing through the eastern Mediterranean, and increases its rush during the night hours and the dawn of tomorrow.

 

It is expected that the flow of these polar winds will coincide with an increase in the frequency of the impact of the low air over the southern regions of the Kingdom, so that the weather next night in all areas of south and southwest of the Kingdom is very cold and often cloudy with showers of rain at intervals, while it is expected to fall Snow over high mountain heights more than 1,300 meters above sea level. And with the hours after midnight and Friday dawn, it is expected that the level of snowfall will reach 1000 meters from the sea surface, which means that many areas within the heights of Al-Sharah in the south of the Kingdom will witness snowfall, and these snow are sometimes dense and accumulate as the height of the area increases From the sea.

 

Snowfall is expected to be concentrated in two regions, the first of which is the top of the Tafila Governorate (Rashadiya and Qadisiyah), where heavy and accumulated snow is expected to fall, while the other region is the Ras Al-Negev and the high mountain range in Wadi Rum and Al Quwayrah. The Jordanian-Saudi border near Aqaba, which rises more than 1000-1200 meters above sea level.

 

Snowfall in Ras Al-Negev is private, as this region is located within a lively and active road, which is the desert and international road that connects between the capital Amman and Aqaba, and therefore we advise the brothers who wish to move during the hours of dawn and Friday morning using this road that it will be Closed to snow.

 

Regarding the expectations of the rest of the highlands of the Kingdom, the chance of snow falling on it is relatively weak compared to the southern regions, but it is available in the form of snow showers or mixed with rain at dawn and Friday morning.

 

It is noteworthy that since Wednesday, the Kingdom is affected by an air depression that is classified as a third degree (medium - high) effectiveness, accompanied by extensive and heavy rain and some snow in the high mountainous hills, whose impact is expected to decrease with the late hours of Friday-Saturday night .
