Amman, Oct. 21 (Petra) -- Pleasant autumn weather will prevail across most of Jordan on Wednesday, with brief, light showers possible in parts of the northeastern Badia around midday, potentially accompanied by thunder, the Jordan Meteorological Department said.

Moderate conditions will persist in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and Aqaba, while clouds at varying altitudes are expected across the country.

Northeasterly winds will be moderate, occasionally picking up and raising dust, particularly in desert areas.

The department warned of reduced visibility due to dust, especially across the Badia, and urged motorists to exercise caution on roads affected by rainfall in northeastern desert areas.

Wednesday's highs are forecast at 26 degrees Celsius in East Amman and 23 C in West Amman, compared with 22 C in the northern highlands, 21 C in the Sharah highlands, 25 C across the plains and 28 C in the Badia.

Temperatures will reach 33 C in both the northern and southern Jordan Valley, 32 C at the Dead Sea and 30 C in Aqaba.

A slight rise in temperatures is expected on Thursday, bringing pleasant weather to the high mountain areas and moderate autumn conditions elsewhere.

Low clouds will appear in some areas, while moderate easterly winds may become active at times, stirring dust, particularly across the Badia.

Moderate autumn weather will continue on Friday and Saturday, with relatively hot conditions in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and Aqaba.

Medium- and high-level clouds are expected, accompanied by moderate southeasterly winds.
