Conditions are expected to remain relatively cold on Thursday, with low cloud cover and moderate northwesterly winds prevailing across most regions.

Temperatures are forecast to rise slightly on Friday, bringing pleasant conditions to most regions and relatively warm weather in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and Aqaba. Southeasterly winds are expected to shift to northwesterly during the afternoon.
