Amman:Temperatures will remain moderate across most parts of the Kingdom on Friday, while relatively hot conditions are anticipated in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba, as reported by the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD).
According to Jordan News Agency, clouds are expected at various altitudes, with eastern and southeastern regions likely experiencing weak atmospheric instability in the afternoon, resulting in scattered showers that may occasionally be accompanied by thunder.
Moderate northeasterly winds will prevail, at times picking up and stirring dust, especially in the Badia regions, before shifting to a northwesterly direction in the evening. The JMD has warned of reduced horizontal visibility due to dust in the Badia and fog over the northern high mountain areas during early morning hours. Motorists are advised to be cautious of slippery roads in areas experiencing rainfall.
On Saturday, similar weather patterns are expected, with moderate temperatures across most regions and relatively hot conditions in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba.
