Strong winds, rising heat to mark Thursday weather in Jordan
ِA noticeable rise in temperatures is forecasted across Jordan on Thursday, which coincides with Arafah Day.
The forecast shows typical summer conditions over the highlands, while other regions will experience relatively hot weather. In the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba, temperatures are expected to range from hot to extremely hot – according to ArabiaWeather.
Temperatures to Reach 40°C in the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea, and Aqaba
Maximum temperatures are forecast to reach around 40 degrees Celsius in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea area, and the city of Aqaba on Arafah Day. The public is advised to avoid prolonged and direct exposure to sunlight. Elsewhere across the Kingdom, highs will range between the low and mid-30s Celsius.
Northwesterly Winds Expected to Strengthen in the Afternoon and Evening
Moderate northwesterly winds are expected to blow across the Kingdom on Arafah Day and throughout Eid. Wind activity is forecast to increase during the afternoon and evening hours, with strong gusts in mountainous and open areas.
These gusts may lead to localized dust and sand storms, particularly in southern and eastern parts of the country.
Nighttime temperatures are also expected to rise by Thursday evening. Overall, conditions across most regions will be pleasant and suitable for outdoor gatherings. However, by late night and early morning hours—especially over high elevations and eastern plains—temperatures may lean toward the cooler side.
