Amman, May 19 (Petra) — Dusty and moderate conditions are continuing
across the country on Tuesday, before a cooler and relatively humid
air mass is expected to bring a noticeable drop in temperatures on
Thursday, according to the Jordan Meteorological Department.

Temperatures today are hovering around seasonal averages, with dusty
and moderate weather prevailing across most regions, while relatively
hot conditions persist in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba.
Medium- and high-level clouds are appearing intermittently,
accompanied by northwesterly winds ranging from moderate to active,
with occasional strong gusts.

The Meteorological Department warned of reduced horizontal visibility
due to dust in several regions, particularly on desert roads where
visibility could deteriorate significantly. It also urged people with
respiratory conditions to take necessary precautions.

Similar conditions are expected on Wednesday, with moderate weather
continuing across most regions and relatively hot conditions
persisting in low-lying areas. Medium- and high-level clouds will
remain present, while westerly winds are forecast to strengthen
during the afternoon, accompanied by strong gusts that may trigger
blowing dust, particularly in Badia regions.

A more noticeable weather shift is forecast on Thursday as a mild and
relatively humid air mass moves across the country, driving
temperatures lower. Pleasant conditions are expected across most
regions, while moderate weather prevails in the Jordan Valley, the
Dead Sea, and Aqaba.

Low clouds are forecast, with a chance of scattered light showers
during the early morning hours in northern areas and limited parts of
central regions. Westerly winds will range from moderate to active
and may continue raising dust at times in exposed desert areas.

Conditions are expected to stabilize again on Friday, with
temperatures edging slightly higher and moderate weather prevailing
across most regions, while relatively hot conditions continue in
low-lying areas. Northwesterly winds will remain moderate.

Temperature ranges on Tuesday reflect the prevailing pattern, with
East Amman forecast between 28 C and 16 C, and West Amman between 26
C and 14 C. Northern highlands will record 22 C to 13 C, while the
Sharah highlands range between 24 C and 14 C.

In the Badia, temperatures are expected between 32 C and 17 C, and in
the plains between 27 C and 16 C. The northern Jordan Valley is
forecast at 34 C to 18 C, rising to 36 C to 21 C in the southern
valley. The Dead Sea will record 35 C to 20 C, while Aqaba reaches 36
C to 22 C.
