Ammon News - Jordan will experience an unprecedented surge in temperatures on Tuesday, with maximum temperatures surpassing the usual averages for this time of the year by approximately 4 to 5 degrees Celsius. This extraordinary heat is a result of the continued influence of a hot and dry air mass that has settled over the Arabian Peninsula.

According to the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD), the high-pressure system, characterized by a hot and dry air mass, will remain firmly anchored over the region. As a consequence, intense heat will prevail in most areas, while scorching weather will dominate in the desert regions, the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and the coastal city of Aqaba.

The JMD has issued several cautionary advisories to safeguard the public from potential risks associated with extreme weather conditions, strongly advising individuals to avoid direct exposure to the scorching sun, especially during peak hours. Additionally, parents are urged not to leave children unattended inside closed vehicles, where temperatures can escalate to life-threatening levels.

Moreover, there is a heightened risk of wildfires due to the dryness of the prevailing air mass. The public is advised to refrain from igniting fires in forested and grassy areas and be cautious with inflammable materials, including leaving sanitizers, perfumes, and other flammable items inside vehicles.

On Wednesday, the hot and dry weather pattern will continue, with similar conditions prevailing. The heat is expected to persist in most regions, and the desert areas, the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba will continue to experience extremely high temperatures.

A slight increase in temperatures is anticipated on Thursday, with hot and dry weather continuing in most areas. The desert regions, the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba are likely to remain under the grip of intense heat.

Today’s peak temperatures will be between 37 and 35 degrees Celsius in Amman and various highlands throughout the Kingdom, with lows of 25 or even 23 degrees in the southern highlands at night. The Gulf city of Aqaba will have scorching weather, with highs of 44C and lows of 31C.
