<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arab Weather - The Director of the Meteorological Department, Raed Rafid Al-Khattab, said that the highest degree during today, Saturday, was observed at Wadi Al-Rayyan station, where it recorded 43 degrees Celsius.<br /><br /> Al-Khattab confirmed that the highest temperature in the capital, Amman, reached 39 degrees Celsius, indicating that these temperatures were monitored until three in the afternoon.<br /><br /> On his question about the temperatures recorded in the vehicles, Al-Khattab talked about that the thermometers in the vehicles are inaccurate and may give numbers that are not equivalent to the actual temperatures.<br /><br /> He added that the weather monitoring stations measure the temperature in the shade and at an altitude of about two meters, but the vehicles are moving and are directly exposed to sunlight and reflect or absorb it, which generates a rise in temperatures to give the vehicle thermometers higher degrees than the real one.</p>
