Ammon News - A heatwave that affected the Kingdom over the last two days is expected to subside on Tuesday, as mercury levels are tipped to drop few degrees, but will remain 9-10C above annual average, so it will be relatively hot in the highlands and the plains, and hot in the others regions.

In Amman and other highlands, north and south, daytime temperatures will range between 34 and 30 degrees Celsius. In the late afternoon and evening hours, cooler weather is forecast as mercury levels slide to around 16 and even 11 in the southern highlands, according to the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD).

The JMD warned the public of the direct exposure to sunlight, and of leaving sterilizers and flammable materials inside vehicles.

On Wednesday, a tangible dip in temperatures is forecast, bringing back fair and spring-like weather conditions in most areas of the country, except in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and Aqaba where it will be relatively hot, with northwesterly moderate to brisk winds, the JMD said.

No significant change on the weather is forecast for Thursday, the JMD added.
