Jordan: Strong high pressure system on Sunday and Monday; temperatures could be the highest in February in years.

Arab Weather - Computer simulation results at Arab Weather indicate that the Kingdom will be affected, God willing, on Sunday and Monday, February 15 and 16, 2026, by a strong high-pressure system in the upper atmosphere and a warm air mass coming across North Africa. This air mass will, God willing, lead to a significant and noticeable rise in temperatures, peaking on Monday, with temperatures reaching the mid-twenties Celsius in many areas, including the capital, Amman. It is believed that such heat has not been recorded in February in the Kingdom for several years.

A noticeable rise in temperatures is expected on Sunday, with generally dusty conditions persisting.

In detail, on Sunday temperatures will rise to become about 5-7 degrees Celsius above average for this time of year, and the weather will be dusty to varying degrees, God willing, although it will tend to be warm in the afternoon and evening hours. Maximum temperatures will exceed the twenties Celsius in many areas, and will even approach the middle of them in some cities and neighborhoods. The winds will be light to moderate southeasterly.

In the Jordan Valley and Dead Sea areas, the weather is warm during the afternoon hours, with highs approaching the high twenties Celsius, and the weather is also dusty to varying degrees in those areas.

Temperatures will exceed the mid-twenties in many cities and neighborhoods on Monday, February 16, 2026, and are likely to be the highest for February in several years.

Modern weather technologies indicate that the impact of the warm air mass will increase on the Kingdom on Monday, God willing, as more warm and dry air currents will rush towards the Kingdom, leading to a further rise in temperatures to become about 10 to 12 degrees Celsius warmer than their usual averages for this time of year, and the weather will be generally warm and dry, and dusty to varying degrees.

Maximum temperatures are expected to reach and possibly exceed the mid-twenties Celsius in many cities, neighborhoods and villages, including the eastern and southern neighborhoods of the capital, Amman. It is believed that such levels have not been recorded in February in the Kingdom for several years, as the last time temperatures exceeded the mid-twenties Celsius in eastern Amman was in 2010, while they approached the mid-twenties in several subsequent years, the last of which was in 2021.

In the Jordan Valley and Dead Sea areas, temperatures will be around 30 degrees Celsius, and may exceed that in some areas during the afternoon and evening, and the weather will be relatively hot, God willing.

The winds will be moderate southeasterly, with active gusts and dust storms in some areas.

Tuesday: A drop in temperatures and mostly cloudy skies with a chance of scattered, localized showers during the day.

On Tuesday, temperatures will decrease, but will remain 4-5 degrees Celsius above average. The weather will be partly cloudy to occasionally cloudy with clouds at different altitudes. There is a possibility of local and scattered showers in random areas. The winds will be moderate westerly, becoming more active in the afternoon.

Recommendations:

Avoid wearing light clothing and be mindful of temperature differences.

Be aware of the continued dusty conditions and their impact on respiratory and eye patients.

Avoid prolonged and direct exposure to sunlight in the Jordan Valley and Dead Sea areas.

And God knows best.
