Arab Weather - Official data issued by Queen Alia International Airport, located south of the capital Amman, indicates that the maximum recorded temperature reached about 27.4 degrees Celsius. This is the highest value recorded in February in nearly a decade, as climate records show that the last time temperatures exceeded 26 degrees Celsius at the same location during February was in 2016.

In the same context, the areas of Amman Civil Airport, located east of the capital Amman, recorded a maximum temperature of about 24 degrees Celsius. Such values are among the warmest according to climate records, as similar temperatures have not been recorded in February since 2021, that is, for about five years.

This large and unusual rise in temperatures is attributed to the deepening influence of a warm air mass coming from the southern regions, which raised temperatures to levels significantly higher than their general averages for this time of year.

However, the effect of this air mass, thank God, will not last long, as the latest weather forecasts indicate that its impact will begin to decline starting from the morning hours of Tuesday, when a clear and significant drop in temperatures is expected.

And God knows best.
