According to Jordan News Agency, Khattab noted the southern Jordan Valley has already achieved its full annual seasonal rainfall average, surpassing it by 7%. Khattab added that the low-pressure system, which affected the Kingdom on Monday, contributed to increasing cumulative rainfall totals over a 48-hour period during the 2025-2026 rainy season.
