Jordan: The Jordan Valley's temperatures rival those of Gulf cities and are expected to be among the hottest regions in the world in the coming days.

Arab Weather - The latest outputs of advanced numerical computer models developed internally at the Arabia Weather Center, which accurately simulate forecasts while taking into account topography, indicate that the impact of an extremely hot air mass will be scorching on the Jordan Valley regions in the coming days. Indicators show a significant rise in temperatures in these areas, making them rival those recorded in cities in the Gulf and Iraq.

Temperatures are expected to reach 50 degrees Celsius in the Jordan Valley on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Today's updates indicate that maximum temperatures in the Jordan Valley region will exceed 48 degrees Celsius in the coming days, and it is not unlikely that they will reach 50 degrees Celsius, and perhaps even exceed it, in some of those areas specifically on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 12-13, 2025. This places it on the list of the hottest regions in the world, thus matching the temperatures in Gulf cities.

This is due to the geographic nature of these areas and the source and angle of influence of the extremely hot air mass on the Kingdom. God willing, the weather is expected to turn scorching during the heat wave, especially midweek, in the Jordan Valley in general, and specifically the central region and the Dead Sea region.

Previous record temperatures were recorded in the Jordan Valley and Aqaba.

• Middle Jordan Valley - University Farm Station: 6/9/2002, 50 degrees Celsius
• Aqaba: 9/4/2020, 48 degrees Celsius
• Deir Alla: 6/3/2024, 47.9 degrees Celsius
• Aqaba: June 14, 2024, 47.8 degrees Celsius (the third highest temperature on Earth at the time)
