The atmosphere of Eid al-Adha
8/27/2017 12:00:00 AM
The Director General of the Department of Meteorology Engineer Hussein Momani expected that the weather will be a nice summer during Eid al-Adha Al-Momani said in a press statement that the Kingdom is expected to be affected by moderate-temperature air masses accompanied by a high air altitude that is centered above the average with the beginning of Eid al-Adha and expected temperatures to be around its general rates for the same period of the year. Al-Momani said in a press statement that the numerical models in the Department of Meteorology indicate that the Kingdom was affected by the first day of Eid al-Adha with moderate air masses accompanied by high altitude air to become the normal summer weather during daylight hours in the capital Amman and mountain areas with the emergence of clouds at different altitudes and pleasant atmosphere To moderate during the night and winds are northwesterly moderate to moderate sometimes active in the afternoon. Momani predicted that the maximum temperature in the capital Amman between (32-34) degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature between (20-23) degrees Celsius, while the atmosphere is relatively hot to the lane in the valleys and Aqaba during the day with temperatures Ranging from 36-40 ° C with moderate to relatively warm skies during the night with temperatures ranging from 23-29 ° C. The predictions of numerical models for any rainfall do not indicate during this period. According to climate records in the Department of Meteorology, the maximum temperature in the capital Amman for the month of September is 30.7 degrees Celsius with a minimum temperature of 16.9 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature recorded in the capital Amman, Oman in September was 40.6 degrees Celsius on 11/09 (1960) with the lowest temperature recorded on 23/09/1959 at 8.9 degrees Celsius. The highest temperature recorded at the Kingdom level for September was 46.0 degrees Celsius at the university farm station on 30/09/2002, while the Shubak station recorded the lowest temperature in September was 0.4 degrees Celsius on 17/09/2004.

While the station witnessed the highest total Irbid September's rainfall was 23.1 mm in 1959 The forecasts of the quarterly models of a number of the global centers approved by the Department of Meteorology indicate that the average temperature in the months (September, October, November) will be higher than the general rates of 0.3-0.6 degrees Celsius and the probability of reaching 60% -70% , While rainfall in September, November and November is expected to be around 70 percent to 80 percent.
On Wednesday, the date of the summer solstice will take place at 7: 24 am, which will last approximately 93 days, ending on September 22. The Director of the Department of Meteorology, Engineer Hussein Momani said that the sun will rise from the extreme north-east corner of 61 degrees at 5:30 minutes, and absent at the maximum north-west corner of 299 degrees, at exactly 7:45 minutes, so the length of the day 14 Hour and 14 minutes, the longest day of the year, while the length of the night is 9 hours and 46 minutes, which is the shortest night of the year. He said that with the beginning of the summer coup, the sun will be completely vertical in the orbit of the cancer, which is located north of the equator by approximately 23.5 degrees and climate in this period begins the impact of hotwaves, which is the source of wind mostly from the north of the Arabian Peninsula due to the extended impact of the Indian seasonal low, The temperature rises to high levels during the heat waves to 45 ° C in most areas of Jordan, accompanied by an increase in water evaporation, outbreaks of diseases, sun strikes, extreme thirst, low pressure, appearance of some exotic insects. In the capital, Amman, the average temperature of the summer temperature is 9,31 and the average temperature is 4.18. The city of Oman experienced the longest wave of heat for six days in July 1978. The highest temperature recorded in Amman was 5 , Compared with the general average of 0.11 on July 30, 2000 and August 20, 2010. The lowest temperature recorded in Amman during this period was 2.10, which is lower than its general average by 2.7 on June 31, 1958. At the Kingdom level, the highest peak recorded during the summer period was 8,48 at the Wadi Al Rayyan station on 20 August 2010, while the lowest temperature was 4.0 at Al Shobak station on 17 September 2004. This period may see summer rains as happened On the 22nd of 2012 where the city of Irbid recorded 2.9 mm. According to climate records in the Department of Meteorology that the number of hot flashes in the city of Amman during the summer amounted to 64 waves in the past 95 years. The summer of 2010 witnessed the highest temperature and was higher than the general average by 4.2 ° C and 2.25 by the summer of 2015, an increase of 3.2 degrees. The forecasts of the quarterly models of a number of global centers dealt with by the Jordanian Meteorological Service indicate that the summer months will be higher than the general rates from 4.0 to 6.0 degrees Celsius and up to 60 percent and also indicate that the month of August will be the highest At temperatures of about 0.6 ° C below its general average.
Climate scientists plan to expand data collection in polar regions
5/21/2017 12:00:00 AM
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) announced on Monday that more than 50 air watchdogs and observatories from more than 20 countries will cooperate on expanding data collection dramatically in the polar regions. Under the leadership of the Alfred Figner Foundation in the northern German city of Bremerhaven, the project aims to send more meteorological balloons and buoys to better ways of documenting rapid climate change in the North and South Poles and also to improve weather forecasts. "Temperatures in the Arctic and parts of Antarctica are twice as fast as the rest of the world, causing the melting of glaciers, shrinking sea ice and ice cover," said project head Thomas Jong of the World Meteorological Organization. "The impact of this is felt in other parts of the world - as is evident in rising sea levels and changing weather and climate patterns." There are enormous problems in the Arctic and Antarctica. The extent of sea ice was at its lowest level in January since measurements began in 1979, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said in February. In the Arctic, the volume of sea ice was below its 1981-2010 average of 9% while in Antarctica it was 23% lower. As ice melts, activities in polar regions such as tourism, new shipping routes and raw material extraction are increasing, adding to the risk, according to the Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
