Temperatures across Jordan are expected to climb to 4–5 degrees Celsius above seasonal averages on Monday. The Jordan Meteorological Department confirmed that this brief spike will impact regions including East Amman, West Amman, the Sharah highlands, and the Badia. Similar weather conditions are anticipated in the northern Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, the southern Jordan Valley, and Aqaba. Authorities project these conditions will remain localized to the start of the week before returning to historical norms. This period of increased heat is attributed to a specific weather system currently tracking across the country, which is set to influence the daily highs throughout the kingdom.
Regional Forecasted High Temperatures
East Amman and the surrounding plains will experience a forecasted high of 29 degrees Celsius on Monday. Residents in these areas should prepare for the unseasonably warm conditions as the thermometer reaches this peak. West Amman is expected to reach a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius during the same period.
Northern highlands residents can anticipate a high of 25 degrees Celsius on Monday. Conditions in the Sharah highlands are set to reach 26 degrees Celsius. These highland regions will remain slightly cooler than the lower-lying areas of the kingdom, though they will still observe temperatures climbing above the usual seasonal norms for this time of year.
The Badia region is forecast to see temperatures climb to 32 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, the northern Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea will record a high of 33 degrees Celsius. These areas, known for their lower elevation, are expected to experience some of the most significant warming during the Monday window.
Higher temperatures are projected for the southern Jordan Valley, where the mercury is expected to hit 35 degrees Celsius on Monday. Aqaba will round out the regional forecast with a high of 34 degrees Celsius. The coastal city of Aqaba will maintain these elevated temperatures throughout the day, consistent with the broader warming trend reported by the Jordan Meteorological Department.
Visibility Concerns and Weather Shifts
The Jordan Meteorological Department warned that rising wind speeds may result in dust accumulation, which could reduce horizontal visibility across the eastern Badia. Because of these wind conditions, the Jordan Meteorological Department warned that dust could reduce visibility in the eastern Badia. Motorists and residents in these desert areas are advised to exercise caution during the period of increased atmospheric instability. The combination of elevated temperatures and wind-driven dust requires heightened awareness from those traveling through the eastern regions of the country.
Conditions across the country are expected to shift following the initial spike in heat. A slight drop in temperatures is forecast for Tuesday as the current weather system begins to move out of the region. This transition will mark the end of the brief warming trend experienced at the start of the week.
Temperatures will edge lower again on Wednesday as seasonal averages return to the kingdom. The Jordan Meteorological Department indicated that this cooling will be felt across most regions, returning weather patterns to the expected norms for early November. This cooling trend on Wednesday will effectively conclude the period of above-average temperatures that began on Monday.
