Arab weather - m. Nasser Haddad - Expectations indicate a significant intensification of the cold weather in the Kingdom, starting from the early evening hours of today, Wednesday, January 19, 2022, so that precipitation will renew and be in the form of intermittent showers of snow throughout the mountainous heights of more than 800 meters, followed by At night with a strong wave of ice and freezing on most areas, including external and internal roads.

Intermittently renewed snowfall

According to the latest monitoring data and satellite images of Arab weather, it is expected that new bands of clouds will cross the Kingdom with the afternoon and evening hours, starting from the northern regions, and gradually extending to the central regions, provided that the chances of precipitation at night decrease from those regions gradually.

The precipitation is in the form of intermittent showers of snow over the mountainous heights of more than 800 meters, and intermittent showers of rain and hail without that, and snow accumulates from time to time and the higher the height above sea level, and later snowfall is concentrated on the heights of Karak and perhaps Tafila. It is also not excluded that snow will fall again in some areas of the eastern Badia.

What is the reason for the interruption of precipitation and the failure of the situation to develop into a snow storm in Jordan?

Contrary to expectations that some mountains from the north and west of the Levant, such as Lebanon, will be hit by a snow storm this evening, the scientific reason behind the interruption and irregular precipitation in the Kingdom is due to the distance of the shallow depression center from the Kingdom, to northeastern Syria, and the cold air not deepening in the layers The high air is towards Jordan, but rather concentrated in the north of the Levant, and this leads to the accumulation of cold polar air in the low and middle layers of the atmosphere, high surface pressure values, and the inability of the air to build clouds in a strong and effective way.
