Ammon News - Temperatures on Thursday are forecast to soar above the average for this time of year by approximately 3 to 4 degrees Celsius. Therefore, hot weather will prevail in most regions while it will be scorching in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba.

In its daily report, the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) urged the public to exercise caution and take necessary precautions to avoid heat-related risks. Direct exposure to the sun during peak hours should be minimized, especially in areas with high temperatures. Parents are warned against leaving children unattended inside closed vehicles, as temperatures within cars can rapidly reach dangerous levels. Furthermore, the risk of wildfires is heightened during these conditions, and authorities strongly advise against igniting fires in forested and grassland areas.

Additionally, residents are advised not to leave hand sanitizers, perfumes, or any flammable materials inside vehicles to prevent potential fire hazards.

The high temperatures are expected to persist through Friday, with little respite. Residents in most areas of the country should prepare for continued hot weather, while those in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba should brace for extreme heat.

On Saturday, a slight decrease in temperatures is predicted, offering some relief from the scorching conditions. However, the weather is still anticipated to be relatively hot in mountainous regions and plains, and hot in the desert, valleys, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba.

A further slight decrease in temperatures is expected on Sunday, though relatively hot weather will persist in most regions.

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 45C and lows of 30C.
