Amman, Feb. 8 (Petra) -- Mild weather conditions are expected to continue across most regions until Tuesday, providing a window of settled conditions before temperatures dip slightly midweek, the Jordan Meteorological Department said.
According to the department, Sunday will see mild temperatures prevail in most areas, while warmer conditions continue in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and Aqaba. High-level clouds are expected, with moderate southwesterly winds becoming active at times and raising dust, particularly in Badia areas.
The same pattern is forecast to hold on Monday and Tuesday, with mild conditions persisting across most regions and continued warmth in low-lying areas. Medium- and high-level cloud cover is expected to remain in place, accompanied by intermittent southwesterly winds that may stir dust in desert regions.
A shift is forecast for Wednesday, when temperatures are expected to edge lower. Weather conditions will turn relatively cooler across most regions, while remaining relatively warm in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and Aqaba. Clouds are expected at various altitudes, with a chance of light rain showers during the afternoon hours in parts of the northern, central and eastern regions. Westerly winds are forecast to blow at moderate speeds, becoming active at times.
