Jordan is surviving this year's record-breaking June heatwave.
Arab Weather - The archives at the Arab Weather Center indicate that the Kingdom was affected between June 12 and 20, 2024, by the longest heat wave witnessed in June since climate data began to be recorded. This heat wave lasted for nine consecutive days, accompanied by a significant rise in temperatures, exceeding their average average by 8 to 10 degrees Celsius in some areas.
During that period, temperatures reached nearly 40 degrees Celsius in the capital, Amman, and many central regions, while they exceeded 45 degrees Celsius in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba. This wave placed significant pressure on infrastructure and vital sectors, especially the energy sector.
Jordan is surviving this year's record-breaking June heatwave.
As for this June of 2025, the Kingdom will experience normal summer weather, with no significant or prolonged heat waves during the same period as last year. This is attributed to the infiltration of moderate air masses from the eastern Mediterranean into the region, which has helped keep temperatures within the normal range, even dropping slightly on some days, particularly during the evening and night hours.
Forecasts show this weather pattern continuing over the coming days, with no signs of heat waves affecting the Kingdom in the near future. Maximum temperatures in the capital and mountainous areas will remain in the 30s, while temperatures in the Jordan Valley, Badia, and Dead Sea regions will be hotter.
And God knows best.
