Ammon News - As temperatures continue to soar, the scorching heatwave shows no sign of relenting in the Kingdom. Jordan remains under the influence of a hot and dry air mass, leading to hot weather across most parts of the country. However, the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea, and Aqaba are experiencing sweltering conditions, meteorologists said on Monday.

According to the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD), winds blowing from the northwest are moderate in speed, occasionally picking up.

The weather service issued a warning against direct exposure to sunlight during peak hours in most areas, as well as leaving children inside closed cars. Additionally, it advised against lighting fires in grassy and forested areas to prevent wildfires, and storing sanitizers, perfumes, and flammable materials inside vehicles.

On Tuesday and throughout the week, the Kingdom will remain in the grips of a debilitating heatwave as mercury levels will continue to surge, reaching record highs in some regions. As citizens try to beat the heat, authorities are urging people to stay hydrated, avoid going outdoors during peak hours, and take other precautions to stay safe.

Today’s maximum temperatures will be between 32 and 36 degrees Celsius in Amman and various highlands across the Kingdom, with lows of 24 or even 22 degrees in the southern highlands at night. The Gulf city of Aqaba will experience sweltering weather, with highs of 44C and lows of 30C.
