Consequently, as a result of the low level of snowfall, additional areas of Irbid and areas in Zarqa are included in the snow opportunities, as the chances of snow showers increase in areas such as from Rasifa al-Zarqa, including Jabal Prince Faisal and Jeriba for example, and the areas of Arhaba, Idoun, Kafr Khel and Jedita, for example.

The accumulations above those areas depend on the intensity and continuity of the precipitation, and there is no doubt that the areas that rise more than 800 meters will witness snowfall and accumulations, God willing.
