A distinctive rainy season in the south of the Kingdom, thank God for His grace

And the results of the data analysis of the Jordanian Meteorological Department indicate that many regions of the south of the Kingdom and the desert have recorded a distinguished rainy performance for the rainy season and exceeded the assumed rates for this time of the year. Rainfall, while Al-Shobak station recorded the most rainy areas with 115 mm since the beginning of the rainy season, with a performance of 144% compared to the assumed rate of 80 mm, and in Wadi Musa and Tafila 111% and 100%, respectively, while the performance decreased Rainfall significantly in Karak up to 50%.

Al-Jafr monitoring station joined it, which achieved 113% of its seasonal average, and a city approached them. Aqaba, which recorded 92% of the full seasonal average. This is what makes the rainy season exceptional in the southern regions and the desert as well.
