Amman, February 22 (Petra) — The Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) reaffirmed that its weather forecasts are grounded in rigorous scientific methodologies, developed and supervised by specialists using the latest numerical models and climate data.
JMD Director Raed Al Khattab told the Jordan News Agency (Petra) that a surge of inaccurate weather reports on social media has been observed recently, often driven by commercial interests without consideration for their impact on the public or emergency planning efforts.
He warned that unverified weather information from non-specialists can create unnecessary confusion, negatively affecting individuals and various sectors.
He urged media outlets to combat misinformation by relying on official and credible sources to ensure accurate forecasts reach the public and protect the national interest.
Al Khattab highlighted that the Jordan Meteorological Department operates 24/7 and is accessible via Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), WhatsApp and its official website, providing timely and reliable weather updates.
