Ammon News - A spell of exceptionally warm weather is set to envelop various parts of Jordan in the coming days, prompting residents to prepare for elevated temperatures, particularly in specific locales.

According to the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD), a day of relatively high temperatures across most areas is forecast on Wednesday. Notably, the Badia, the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba are projected to experience even more intense heat.

In response to the impending conditions, authorities have issued a stern caution regarding direct sun exposure during peak hours; and urged residents to adopt preventive measures to mitigate potential health risks associated with extreme heat.

Thursday is anticipated to usher in another day of relatively high temperatures in the elevated mountainous regions, while the remainder of the country is poised to experience heightened heat levels.

As the week progresses, a warm air mass originating from the Arabian Peninsula is poised to exert its influence over the Kingdom, commencing from Friday. The resultant effect will be a surge in temperature readings across a spectrum of regions. The majority of areas are bracing for a heatwave, while the Badia, Jordan Valley, Dead Sea, and Aqaba are projected to endure extremely high temperatures. Accompanying this meteorological shift, clouds at elevated altitudes are expected to offer a measure of relief from the relentless sun.

Saturday is projected to mark the zenith of the heat and aridness associated with this air mass, engendering a palpable elevation in temperature. The daytime mercury is poised to soar considerably, with maximum readings potentially surpassing the seasonal norms by an approximate margin of 7-8 degrees Celsius. The overall climate is expected to be exceedingly hot, particularly in the aforesaid locales.

Today’s peak temperatures will be between 32 and 34 degrees Celsius in Amman and various highlands throughout the Kingdom, with lows of 22C or even 20C in the southern highlands at night. The Gulf city of Aqaba will have scorching weather, with highs of 42C and lows of 28C.
