Fair weather to continue over weekend

AMMAN — Fair weather conditions are expected to prevail on Friday as temperatures are forecast to be around their annual average of this time of year, a meteorologist said on Thursday.

“It will be fair in hilly areas and relatively warm in other regions in the Kingdom with northwesterly moderate winds,” Laila Shaheen from the Jordan Metrological Department told The Jordan Times.

Temperatures will range between a high of 19°C and a low of 10°C in Amman and hilly areas, while the department warns of possible low visibility during the early Friday morning in hilly areas.

During the evening, it will be relatively cold in most parts of Jordan and fair in the Jordan Valley and Dead Sea regions.

On Saturday, the meteorologist noted that temperatures will soar, recording five to seven degrees above their annual average.

“Temperatures on Saturday will reach a high of 24°C and a low of 16°C in Amman, while standing between a maximum of 30°C and a minimum of 20°C in Irbid,” Shaheen said, adding that there will be a possibility of scattered showers in the southern region.

“Low visibility is possible in desert areas Saturday evening,” she noted.
