An uptick in temperatures, with relatively hot conditions dominating high mountainous areas and other regions across the country is expected to prevail on Friday, the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) said.

The northwestern winds on Friday will maintain their moderate pace, the JMD added in its daily report.

Saturday's weather outlook remains consistent, with slight drop in temperatures expected in most areas, and relatively hot in mountainous regions. Winds will initiate from the southwest, transitioning to a northwesterly direction in the afternoon, at times gaining in intensity.

However, a welcome respite from the heat is on the horizon as we head into Sunday. A noticeable drop in temperatures is anticipated, registering slightly below the usual seasonal averages. Conditions will transition to moderately warm in mountainous areas and plains, and relatively hot in low-lying regions such as the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba.

Today’s peak temperatures will be between 37 and 35 degrees Celsius in Amman and various highlands throughout the Kingdom, with lows of 27C or even 21C in the southern highlands at night. The Gulf city of Aqaba will have scorching weather, with highs of 45C and lows of 30C.
