Temperatures on Tuesday will remain below their annual average for this time of year, bringing chilly and partly cloudy weather conditions in most regions with a chance for scattered showers in the northern areas, the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) said in its daily update.

The weather department warned of frost and fog formation in the early morning hours in mountainous areas, and of low visibility in Badia areas due to dust-raising winds.

On Wednesday, the Kingdom will be affected by a cold air mass accompanied by a depression centered over Cyprus, which will bring below average temperatures and occasional rain with thunder and hail in the northern and central regions. A slight chance of light snow showers in high mountainous areas is also expected, with westerly strong winds.

The impact of the depression will deepen on Thursday, with mercury levels marking 10 degrees below average, bringing very cold weather in most parts of the country, with heavy downpours accompanied by thunder, hail and light snow.

Mercury in the capital Amman today will range between a high of 11 degrees Celsius and a low of 0C at night, while the port city of Aqaba will see a fair 19C, sliding to 10C at night.
