Aqaba: The Meteorological Department said on Wednesday that latest radar images indicate "moderate to heavy rainfall" north of Aqaba Governorate and Wadi Araba, sometimes with thunder bursts. It issued a warning urging caution against slippery roads and in areas prone to flash floods, and reduced horizontal visibility due to dust storms and gusty winds in the southern region.
According to Jordan News Agency, the public is advised to stay informed about the latest weather updates and to exercise caution, particularly in areas known for flash flooding. The combination of heavy rain and thunderstorms is expected to persist, creating potentially hazardous conditions.
The department also highlighted that the adverse weather conditions could affect transportation, urging drivers to be vigilant and to maintain safe distances on the road. Residents in low-lying areas were specifically advised to remain alert to the possibility of rising water levels and to take necessary precautions.
