10 October heat waves that affected the Kingdom over the past centuries

Over the past centuries, Jordan has recorded ten heat waves in October, according to the Jordan Meteorological Department. The longest October heat wave lasted for about a week in 2009, during which a maximum temperature reached 40°C, 7.4°C higher than the annual average.

 

The El Niño phenomenon was prevalent in the Pacific Ocean during the period when the Kingdom was affected by the longest heat wave in October.

In the global context, the El Niño phenomenon was most evident in the Pacific Ocean in 2009, the same year the Kingdom was affected by the famous October heat wave. The temperature of the Pacific waters rose significantly, significantly impacting the global climate. Reto Rudy, a NASA mathematician at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, stated that monitoring this region helps provide better insights into future climate.

 

Rody explained that the second-warmest year on record witnessed the highest intensity of the El Niño phenomenon, and that the phenomenon's impact on climate leads to higher temperatures on the ocean's surface, impacting weather in various regions around the world.

 

And God knows best.
