 Moderate autumn conditions are expected to prevail on Thursday in most parts of the Kingdom, except in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and Aqaba where it will be relatively hot, the Meteorological Department (JMD) said in its daily brief.

At night, cooler weather will dominate nationwide, with northeasterly light winds, the JMD added.

Toward Friday, mercury levels will rise few degrees, but similar fair conditions will continue to persist until Saturday in the highlands and the plains, while it will be relatively hot to hot in other regions, with northeasterly to northwesterly moderate to brisk winds, the department noted.
