A series of low-pressure systems over the western Mediterranean are pushing warmth and dust towards Jordan.

Arab Weather - Computer simulation results in Arab Weather indicate that the shape of the weather systems affecting the region during the next few days is taking a relatively unusual turn, as the activity of low-pressure systems, the momentum of cold air masses, and polar surges continue to be concentrated in the western and central Mediterranean regions and northwest of the African continent.

This weather pattern leads to the deepening of warm air currents coming from northeast Africa towards Egypt, Jordan and Palestine, with this air mass carrying temperatures higher than usual for this time of year, and loaded with quantities of dust.

Relatively warm and dusty weather is expected in the coming days, God willing.

According to forecasts, temperatures will rise over the coming days (Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday), reaching 7 to 9 degrees Celsius above average for this time of year. The weather will be relatively cool in the morning, becoming mild during the afternoon, with temperatures tending towards warm in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea area, and Aqaba. Southwesterly winds will blow, particularly during the afternoon and evening, almost daily, stirring up dust and sand in desert regions and increasing dust concentrations in cities to varying degrees. This will coincide with the appearance of medium and high-level clouds at intervals.

Temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius in some areas of the Jordan Valley

God willing, the Kingdom’s exposure to these warmer-than-usual air currents is expected to cause maximum temperatures to exceed the mid-twenties Celsius in most areas of the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba, approaching and possibly exceeding the thirty-degree Celsius mark in parts of the southern Jordan Valley in particular, thus being much higher than usual at this time of year, and closer to levels recorded during the spring season.

As for the rest of the regions and cities of the Kingdom, including the neighborhoods of the capital Amman, the maximum temperatures range between 19 and 23 degrees Celsius, which is several degrees Celsius higher than the general averages.

Nighttime temperatures are higher than usual

In the same context, the rise is not limited to daytime temperatures only, as it is expected, God willing, that nighttime temperatures will also be higher than their usual averages for this time of year, so that the weather at night will be relatively cold in general, and noticeably less cold compared to what the Kingdom has witnessed during the past weeks, during the next three nights, God willing.

And God knows best.
