Temperatures Below Seasonal Norms Monday, Showers Possible Midweek

Amman, Oct. 19 (Petra) — Temperatures across Jordan will remain 3 to
4 degrees Celsius below seasonal averages on Monday, bringing
pleasant autumn weather to most regions before a gradual warming
trend and chances of scattered rain in eastern areas over the coming
days, the Jordan Meteorological Department said.

Pleasant conditions will prevail across most of the country, while
the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and Aqaba will experience moderate
weather. Clouds will appear at varying altitudes, accompanied by
moderate northwesterly winds.

The department warned motorists of reduced visibility during the
early morning due to fog over the high southern mountains and parts
of the plains.

Monday’s highs are forecast at 24 degrees Celsius in East Amman and
22 C in West Amman, compared with 20 C in the northern highlands, 19
C in the Sharah highlands, 23 C across the plains and 27 C in the
Badia.

Temperatures will reach 29 C in the northern Jordan Valley, 32 C in
the southern Jordan Valley and 31 C at the Dead Sea and in Aqaba.

A slight rise in temperatures is expected on Tuesday, with pleasant
weather continuing across most regions and moderate conditions in
low-lying areas.

There is a slight chance of brief afternoon showers in the far east,
possibly accompanied by thunder. Easterly winds will occasionally
shift northwesterly and become active at intervals, raising dust,
particularly in the Badia.

Temperatures will edge higher again on Wednesday, when showers may
develop around midday in parts of the northeastern Badia, with
occasional thunder possible. Limited areas in the far north could
also receive brief, light showers during the evening.

Northeasterly to northwesterly winds will become active at times,
stirring dust across desert regions.

The warming trend will continue on Thursday, bringing pleasant
weather to the high mountain areas and moderate conditions elsewhere.
Easterly winds will occasionally pick up, raising dust, particularly
across the Badia.
