Tarifi told Roya, that the amounts of rainfall in this air depression are higher than the previous depressions that affected Jordan in the past days.

 

Tarifi said that the amounts of rain are expected to reach 20 - 50 millimeters.

 

He pointed out that the cold temperatures will start affecting the country at dawn and on Wednesday morning. At that time, snow will begin to fall over heights of more than 1,000 meters, after which the chances of snowfall will decrease during the hours of the day.

 

Following that, the level of snowfall decreases to reach the mountainous heights of more than 800 meters in the evening hours.
