What is the Omega Block weather pattern that will affect Jordan in the coming days

Khaberni - Modern technical models in Arab weather indicate that, God willing, the kingdom will be affected in the coming days by a weather pattern scientifically known as "Omega Block" (Omega Block), which is characterized by the positioning of a high-pressure system in the upper layers of the atmosphere over the kingdom and neighboring countries, countered by low-pressure systems pushing towards the west and middle of the European continent and others towards East Asia.

This weather situation, God willing, leads to an obstruction of the movement of the usual weather systems, contributing to the predominance of relatively stable weather and higher temperatures compared to the general averages for this time of year, especially with the onset of next week. However, this weather pattern does not necessarily mean a complete disappearance of rain chances, according to Arab weather.

There remains a chance, God willing, for some localized and limited rainfall on Friday and Saturday, without classifying this situation as a winter weather system or a major classified weather condition.

Details of the weather in the coming days: In detail, it is expected, God willing, that temperatures will rise on Wednesday 4-2-2026, with sunny and generally stable conditions prevailing during daylight hours, and the weather being relatively cold over mountainous areas and mild in lowland areas during the afternoon and evening, while remaining cold during the night hours.

With Thursday 5-2-2026, it is expected, God willing, that there will be an additional rise in temperatures, making them higher than their general averages for this time of year by several degrees Celsius, and the weather being cold in the morning due to sometimes active eastern winds, then becoming mild to moderate during the afternoon and evening hours, with the weather remaining sunny in general.

As for Friday 6-2-2026, forecasts suggest that medium and high clouds will appear, and despite temperatures remaining higher than their general averages for this time of year, there is a possibility, God willing, for localized random-type rainfall in some areas.

On Saturday 7-2-2026, it is expected that temperatures will drop slightly, making the weather generally relatively cold, with a possibility of limited rain showers in some northern areas.

On Saturday and Sunday, and at the beginning of next week, it is expected, God willing, that temperatures will rise noticeably again, becoming higher than their general averages for this time of year by a margin that may exceed 7 degrees Celsius, and the weather will be generally moderate, with temperatures returning to the twenties, and this increase will be temporary, God willing.

For those interested and specialists: What is the "Omega Block" pattern? The "Omega" pattern is one of the known atmospheric blocking patterns in meteorology, named because the shape of the jet stream and weather systems in it resembles the letter omega (Ω) and occurs when a high-pressure system is centered in the upper layers of the atmosphere over a specific area, surrounded by low-pressure systems from the east and west.

This positioning leads to an obstruction of the usual west-to-east movement of weather systems, contributing to the prolonged presence of the high-pressure system, thereby weakening the chances of major weather events and relatively higher temperatures compared to the general averages.

The Omega pattern does not necessarily mean a complete absence of rainfall opportunities, as some weak atmospheric disturbances or edges of neighboring low-pressure systems may facilitate limited unstable weather conditions, or localized rain showers, without forming a major winter weather system.

Initial indicators, God willing, suggest the possibility of a temporary break in the Omega pattern during the middle of next week, which could open the field for changes in the weather condition, although the details of this remain subject to updates according to the outputs of subsequent weather models.
