Are the hot periods that affected the Kingdom early in the year a sign that the summer of 2025 will be scorching?

Arab Weather - The Kingdom witnessed several hot to relatively hot periods during the month of May, sometimes accompanied by temperatures exceeding the mid-40s Celsius in the Jordan Valley regions. Meanwhile, the capital, Amman, recorded temperatures that were about 12 degrees Celsius higher than their usual average for this time of year, approaching 40 degrees Celsius during the hot air mass. Is this an indication of an extremely hot summer?

Is this a sign of a hotter summer to come?

According to the weather forecasting team at the Arab Weather Center, the recent hot spells that have affected the Kingdom do not necessarily mean that the summer of 2025 will be hotter than usual. This is because spring weather—especially during May—usually experiences significant fluctuations and is frequently influenced by hot air masses coming from the Arabian Peninsula or the Sahara Desert.
