Arab Weather - Since Wednesday/Thursday night, the Kingdom has been affected by a second-degree (winter) low-pressure system, according to the Arab Weather Index for measuring the intensity of low-pressure systems, accompanied by an air mass of polar origins and very cold. The low-pressure system caused showers of rain (from Wednesday/Thursday night hours) in parts of the north, center and even the south of the Kingdom. The rain was sometimes heavy, causing water pools and rising water levels on roads. The rains also included the capital, Amman, coinciding with the formation of fog in the mountainous highlands as a result of the passage of low clouds touching the ground.
As the extremely cold winds deepened, snow spread to some peaks of the central highlands, including the peaks of Balqa, and some high-altitude neighborhoods west of the capital, including Khalda and Tlaa Al-Ali. Accumulating for a short period, this snowfall is the first of its kind during Ramadan in about 27 years, and it coincides with the first day of the vernal equinox.
The Arab Weather Center's meteorological stations, distributed throughout the Kingdom's governorates, recorded varying amounts of rainfall. The following are the amounts of rainfall recorded in the Kingdom's governorates:
