shahennews

The Kingdom is expected to remain under the impact of a relatively hot air mass, so it will be relatively hot in the highlands, and hot in the Badia areas and the plains, the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) said in its forecast for Monday and Tuesday.

In Amman and other highlands, north and south, daytime mercury levels will range between 31 and 35 degrees Celsius. In the late afternoon and evening hours, cooler weather is forecast as temperatures slide to around 23C and even 18C in the southern highlands.

The Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and the port city of Aqaba are set to swelter in scorching weather with mercury hovering around 43C.

The department also warned against direct exposure to sunlight during daytime, mainly in the Badia, the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and Aqaba, and the possibility of poor visibility due to dust in the desert.

Toward Wednesday, temperatures will rise 5-6 degrees above annual average, but similar weather conditions will continue to persist, the JMD noted.
