Arab Weather App - Jordan and other regions of the Levant have been affected since the morning of Friday, August 8, 2025, by an air mass described as "very hot" that rushed from the Arabian Peninsula towards the Levant. It was characterized by its "blazing" center being unusually close to the Jordanian capital and many Jordanian cities, which led to a rise in daytime maximum temperatures and nighttime minimum temperatures to unusually high levels. They were several degrees above 40°C during the day for several days, including some high mountainous elevations.

The official meteorological station at King Hussein Airport in Aqaba recorded a maximum temperature of 49.6°C, breaking the previous national record for the highest temperature in Aqaba, which reached 48.5°C in 2020.

Jordan thus joins the global scene in setting new absolute record temperatures.
