Temperatures across Jordan will remain below the seasonal average on Saturday, according to the Jordan Meteorological Department. The shift in conditions follows ongoing atmospheric patterns affecting the region. Light rain showers are also possible in limited areas of the north on the same day. These localized precipitation events are expected to stay confined to specific northern regions. Residents in these northern areas should be prepared for the possibility of damp conditions throughout the Saturday period as the atmosphere remains unstable.
Visibility Warnings and Hazards
The Jordan Meteorological Department issued warnings regarding reduced horizontal visibility across parts of the country for Saturday. Dust accumulation is expected to impact Badia regions, potentially hindering travel and outdoor activities for those residing or working in these desert environments.
Fog is also forecast for high mountain areas in the northern part of the country. These conditions are anticipated to occur during the early hours of Saturday morning, creating hazards for motorists navigating elevated roads. The Jordan Meteorological Department advises residents in these specific locations to exercise caution while traveling, particularly during the early morning hours when visibility is significantly compromised by the fog. Motorists are encouraged to maintain safe distances and utilize appropriate vehicle lighting to navigate the high-altitude terrain safely.
