The impact of a relatively hot air mass that affected the Kingdom over the last few days is expected to deepen on Sunday, pushing temperatures up and bringing relatively hot weather in the highlands and the plains, and hot conditions in other regions, the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) said in its daily brief.

The department warned against direct exposure to sunlight during daytime in the Badia, the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and Aqaba, and the possibility of low horizontal visibility due to dust in the desert.


On Monday, mercury levels will continue to rise, becoming 3-5 degrees above annual average and making hot conditions in the Badia areas, while it will remain relatively hot in the mountains and the plains, the JMD added, noting that the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and the port city of Aqaba are set to swelter in scorching weather.

Tuesday is expected to bring in similar weather conditions, with northwesterly moderate speed winds, the JMD predicted.

In Amman and other highlands, north and south, daytime mercury levels will range between 34 and 30 degrees. In the late afternoon and evening hours, cooler weather is forecast as temperatures slide to around 22 and even 18 in the southern highlands. Highs in Aqaba will reach 41 degrees, while lows will stand at 28 at night.
