Arab Weather - The results of the Arab Weather regional computer simulation indicate that temperatures will gradually rise again over the coming week, coinciding with the onset of the autumnal equinox. This is due to the Kingdom being affected by an extension of the so-called Red Sea depression, with the expected return of easterly winds that will stir up dust and sand in some areas.

 

Moderate weather this weekend in most areas

At first, moderate summer weather will prevail in most areas on Thursday and Friday, with temperatures tending to rise slightly on Saturday, becoming about two degrees Celsius higher than their average for this time of year. The weather will be moderate in the mountains and relatively hot in the rest of the regions.

 

The Kingdom is affected by an extension of the Red Sea depression with the start of autumn.

Jordan will be affected starting Sunday and increasing with Monday (the first day of autumn, which is the official date of the autumnal equinox) and for several days by the first extension of what is called the Red Sea Depression. Specialists at the Arab Weather Center said that the Red Sea thermal depression does not follow the characteristics of the Mediterranean frontal depressions, so its effects on the Kingdom will be in the form of:

 

Rise in temperature:

The Red Sea depression will cause temperatures to rise to be more than 4 degrees Celsius above their usual rates, and the weather will be relatively hot and closer to summer during the day over the mountainous heights, while it will be hot in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and Aqaba. Night temperatures will also rise compared to what was the case in previous days, and the weather will be pleasant to moderate at night, God willing.

 

Moderate southeasterly winds, sometimes active, causing dust and dirt to rise.

Coinciding with the dry extension of the Red Sea depression during the middle of the week, a high pressure system is present from the north and east, with light to moderate easterly to southeasterly winds blowing, sometimes active and causing dust storms in some limited areas.

Temperatures approach the mid-30s Celsius in neighborhoods of the capital, Amman.

Temperatures will range from 32 to 35 degrees Celsius in most parts of the Kingdom, including neighborhoods of the capital, Amman, especially the eastern part. In the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba, maximum temperatures will be around 40 degrees Celsius.

 

And God knows best.
